Around May there is kind of madness that descends on Germans. They go bananas over white asparagus. They eat it with meat, with ham, with pancakes, on its own, usually with a sauce hollandaise or a bechamel sauce. They even paint their houses with it. Proper fanatics.
BTW: The writing properly translated means: Without asparagus, life is unimportant.

I have no idea what the appeal of white asparagus is. The French love it too. Give me a slim, sappy, green spike of the stuff any day!

In principle, it’s only one kind of asparagus. If it grows above the soil it turns green (like all plants, due to the chlorophyll. That makes white asparagus much more expensive because it can’t be chopped off, it has to be dug out of the soil and then snapped off. So it’s the same plant but I believe that there are different varieties which lend themselves better to one or the other cultivation.

My pleasure. You cannot grow up and live in the vicinity of the oldest asparagus fields (with definitely the best tasting asparagus) in the Upper Rhine valley without picking up a thing or two.

Irgendwo zwischen Ketsch und Schwetzingen, Nach der Rheininsel, vor der Weldefabrik. Ich war letztes Jahr (9 Euroticket) mit dem Fahrrad da unterwegs.
