Newcomers to Germany are usually astonished by the feeding frenzy concerning asparagus in the months from late March to mid June. There is a plethora of asparagus to be had in supermarkets, in restaurants, and at the roadside.
But I’ve never seen a heap of spoiled asparagus at the side of an asparagus field. I don’t know what was wrong with them, why the spears were discarded. It just looked like a plethora of waste.

Well, as you know, I’m in favour of junking white asparagus. If they’d been green however ….

It’s a waste either way – if it was waste. Maybe there was something wrong with them.

I can only assume so. Perhaps something pungent got into the soil system?
