Funnily enough “Spitzen” are way more expensive over here.

we have a big asparagus area between Bremen and Hannover , and quality and taste are among or maybe even the best in Germany it says. I always take the slimmer ones as they are better in my opinion. I cook the cut offs for hours with a little lemon , butter and little sugar and salt of course. In that stock I cook the asparagus, it definitely improves the taste a lot !! I freeze the stock afterwards and use it every time during the asparagus season. And finally you can make an awesome asparagus cream soup out of it

@Daniel-San every asparagus region will claim that title for itself. To me asparagus is the elevator music of vegetables, bland and non-offensive. Also, everyone knows the best asparagus is from Abensberg or Schrobenhausen

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I love asparagus, but I can't stand the funky pee pee.

not true, it's around Braunschweig where I grew up, alternatively in Schleswig-Holstein

Never heard of it, that's probably why it's 'elevator music'. We're talking serious stuff here @Tago-Mago

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@Tago-Mago Yeah! Is it even funky?!

[Chap]

Nope, sorry to disappoint you guys, but the best white asparagus grows in the Lavanttal in Carinthia, Southern Austria (as you can read here: https://www.spargelhof-sternath.com/ )

@RobeOfTheMagi it’s elevator music, that’s about as much interest as I can muster for asparagus. And it probably is elevator music wherever it’s grown

[goosehd]

This may be one of the best pissing contests I’ve seen on the forum in quite some time…

[endo]

Yes, we Germans are no joke when it comes to fresh asparagus.

[goosehd]

Should I bring up green asparagus or will I be offending you guys? It’s the earliest vegetable here (should be picking it in a few weeks) and I can’t wait.

[tody]

@goosehd please do. i can't understand the german obsession with white aspargus either. the best i ever had was in bc, green of course, as a side for a plank grilled salmon.

Completely different topic—start your own thread.

@tody one of my favourite dishes served with a nice Pinot Grigio.

Rhinelanders—what can you do?

[goosehd]

@endo So very sorry…I’ll see myself out now and watch silently

[RobeOfTheMagi]

It's the same plant. However, there's just less blood, sweat and tears involved in growing green asparagus.
