English asparagus…..it was worth the £££££ price tag.

Yes, worth whatever the cost.

We made delicious asparagus, mushroom risotto Saturday.

Sago

Tonight we had our first English asparagus, it was enjoyed with salmon, home made hollandaise sauce, new potatoes and salad.

It was so delicious and worth every penny, Boston new potatoes would have been better but not in season yet so we made do with Majorcan.

I love summer food!

That's the perfect way to eat asparagus in my opinion!

Yes, it is worth it! I'll look to see if M&S have Herefordshire asparagus yet!

We used to live in Shropshire, asparagus grew all around us, our youngest then 2 used to have steamed asparagus spears and dip them in soft boiled egg.
I wasn’t paying the equivalent of £5 a bunch!

Ooh thanks for the reminder
Asparagus and Jersey Royals will be added to my shopping list this week.

Ooh yum Asparagus and Jersey Royals when in season. 😋

I live in an asparagus growing area and can buy direct from the grower. There's nothing like freshly picked asparagus, lightly steamed and served with good butter or a home made hollandaise. Yes, it's worth the price and like many of our home produced fruit and veg, it's always best when bought locally and in season.

I only buy English asparagus, I absolutely love it, worth every penny.

The South American asparagus is tasteless string…

When I lived in east Kent, the farm shop sold odd shape and size asparagus (from their own fields) called “sprue”. We were able to eat some almost every day, without breaking the bank.
It was sooooo good. Nothing like English asparagus’

I am drooling. I was envisaging just the meal you ate this weekend and deciding that it would be that 'last meal' for me.
