Eating a fresh asparagus spear can not be compared to anything else......if you have never done it before, it is something to try! No tinned one can ever taste the same! When I was in the defence force years ago, the troops used to call these tinned ones....ELEPHANT BLACKHEADS! Groace!Unfortunately the season is very short and for only a week or two you get it at a good price. It is very expensive when it hits the market, then goes a little cheaper, and became expensive again after about two weeks.
We can only find it in one local supermarket, and if you do not look for it specifically, you can easily miss it. And that would be one of the saddest things that can happen to you all year around!
I steam them for 25 minutes in my steamer, then make a good garlic and cheese sauce to serve them with. You have to try it at least once.......
