Years ago, I could only buy asparagus in the can in my area. I really liked it with butter. I had sent for asparagus roots to grow my own but since my husband doesn't like it, he refused to plant it.

Now, with the produce store only a half mile away, they usually have fresh asparagus year around. Fresh is best! It's cheaper than the canned version, too. The last time I bought it, there was enough in the bunch that I blanched and froze enough for 5 more meals. Only problem is, it got too soft when cooked, but hey! I'll eat it anyway. Still better than canned.

I see that now some companies are starting to sell frozen asparagus. I might buy a bag and see how that works.

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables.  I like it grilled with fresh Parmesan cheese.
Have a wonderful day!

I love it baked in the oven with lemon pepper seasoning and parmesan cheese on top.

I don't eat asparagus, otherwise I'd other up some recipes!  :) Which reminds me, I need to whip out my cookbook when I have the money for ingredients! Love cooking, but do it so rarely...

Yes I love asparagus. I like it sauteed in butter with garlic salt and mushrooms. I, also, enjoy it baked with olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Yummy.

I grow asparagus in the garden.   I love it.  I prefer it steamed with a little butter and salt on it. However I will eat it any way its prepared.  I'd love to go to an Asparagus Festival.

I have tried it and maybe it was the way it was cooked but I just didn't like it and never tried it again.

I do but I am bad about only eating the tender top portion of the tips and leaving the rest behind!

I love it when it is cooked right. So yummy. Not from a can. Has to be fresh.
