It’s an entirely different experience. You have to know how to prepare the white one and then it’s wonderful. You also must get white asparagus as fresh as possible – it’s harvested in the early morning, wrapped in wet cloth, and sold preferably before midday. Keep it moist until you cook it. It’s like comparing apples with pears if you compare that with green asparagus (that’s delicious, too, but completely different).
Where? I don’t consider myself a German jingoist but I am a bit partial to the local region (similar to not caring too much about England but being a 100% Yorkshire man, if you know what I mean). And I know they now grow asparagus in Sachsen but it’s just not the same. – Having said that it’s okay if you don’t like them. Comparing them to green asparagus is just not fair. Some people like broccoli but detest cauliflower, that kind of thing.

Bliss. Too early here. Except it’s not bliss in Germany because you favour white asparagus, when the green is so much tastier!

I have had it prepared by real live German good cooks, and sorry, my loss, but I still didn’t like it.

In Bavaria, but prepared by friends who hail from much further north.

But they wouldn’t have bought them on the day … (PS: I edited my comment from earlier just now).

Well, we bought them in a market that morning, but yes, they might not have been picked then, and we ate them in the evening.

I always look forward to summer and when the farmer’s markets are in full swing in North Dakota. I can’t wait for the sweet corn to be ready!
