Yesterday I had asparagus for the first time this spring. In this world of globally circulating food where very little is ‘seasonal’ any more, asparagus remain something available only for a couple of months each year. I look forward to the season, delight in eating gently steamed spears while I can, and then reminisce for the rest of the year … until it’s September again and the miracle reoccurs.
The spears above were over $1 each, so I’m not going to indulge too freely until the price becomes more reasonable. They were worth it though!
Wow. What a stunning photographs you have taken of the first springs asparagus. Andy
