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

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

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

The South American asparagus is tasteless string…

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.

Ooh yum Asparagus and Jersey Royals when in season. 😋

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

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!
