    that doesn't mean that asparagus is bad for you

Then why does asparagus try to warn you not to eat it with its terrible taste?

You've got to avoid those stupid 'thick as your thumb' spears they serve up with overpriced steak.

Not one thicker than a pencil, and grill them with salt and pepper in olive oil.

I agree that the thinner ones are better grilled. They crisp up nicely. A few weeks back I was being given a tour of an organic farm. He had wild asparagus growing everywhere. He suggested I just pick a spear and eat one. I did and it was delicious.

I love asparagus. I particularly like pickled asparagus in a Bloody Mary. -or a Caesar. Ftfy forwardslash
