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
