It’s been a while since I could cook due to the horrific weather here in Belgium the last weeks. A quick meal to resume the cooking adventure :)

Asparagus. I don't get that food. I find it repulsive and disgusting. The rest though.. looks tasty!
German here, how dare you?
But in more seriousness, asparagus is a bit of an acquired taste. For white asparagus, it really needs to be fresh produce, ideally directly from the field. There are also a few tricks for cooking it, but once you get it right, it's a beautiful, simple meal. I'm from an "asparagus region" in eastern Germany, hated it as a kid but came to love it as an adult. My favorite version is just plain asparagus, cooked in salted water with some butter and a dash of sugar and lemon juice, with potatoes and a sauce of breadcrumbs fried in butter.
Ah, the Pischshtinken region of Germany.
Totally fair. I hated asparagus for a while, but then realized I just wasn't eating them cooked the right way.
I grew up in a household where basically all veggies were steamed because "that's how it's always been done", which I really hated, and so I developed an aversion to greens in general that took some time to overcome. But cooked with a slight char, along with some salt and pepper, really helps. I don't go out of my way for asparagus, but I have no problems eating it now.
Green beans though can fuck right off. I've never had a dish with any amount of green beans that wasn't ruined by them.
I'm with you on the green bean hate but asparagus is one of my favourite vegetables. Grilled with some garlic, salt, and pepper? Sooo good.
I love green beans. So heh.
Well. In the US, I don't like how green beans are cooked. They're "crusty" and taste like grass. Yuck. I like em slightly overcooked, cold, with red onions and vinaigrette, salt and pepper. Maybe I'll try your receipe next time I cross path with an asparagus. But there's another reason I don't like them. The smell in the johns.
I have heard that the ability to smell that is genetic. I can't smell it, so I get to just enjoy my asparagus.
I also think cilantro tastes like soap. maybe our genome evolved to warn the rest of you about asparagus and cilantro
Cilantro is one of my favourite flavours ever, too.
I personally grew into the green ones. White asparagus I don’t connect with.
Racist
Fair.
