I must be completely honest when I say that up until about six years ago, I would have never touched asparagus, let alone actually eat it! That is right up until I gave up sugar. My pallet just wouldn't allow me to eat green foods. In fact, I remember being that kid who refused to eat green beans. In fact, you could often find me sitting at the lunch table in vegetable protest, while all of the other kids were at recess playing. I didn't mind protesting, anything was better than those yucky things.
What was especially hard was that my children liked green beans, and other vegetables that I didn't care for. Now, so you know, I never deprived them of those foods and I always took a "no thank you bite" (for the sake of showing the kids that it's good to try new things), but really it was very hard to stomach them.
After I gave up sugar my food choices were pretty limited. So, I started trying new recipes and even started trying foods that I hadn't tried in years. After about six months, my pallet started to change and suddenly, the foods that I had always hated became foods that I liked. Then all of that yucky green stuff, became foods that I craved! I was now eating things like: salmon, brussel sprouts, green beans, mixed greens, spinach, kale, bok choy, and the list goes on and on.

Asparagus! I grew up in a town that had asparagus growing near every ditch, watery way, etc. People would collect it by the grocery bag full. (brown paper memba them?)
I love asparagus. Now, I appreciate the cost savings of picking your own.
I wonder if they can be grown?
