My parents went to Atlanta last weekend and stopped at the Dekalb farmers market. Among the goodies they brought me was white asparagus. I have never cooked it so I took the recommendation on the package. Peel (yeah, that was fun) the asparagus, boil in salted water for 10 minutes until tender; Drain and set aside. In a sauce pan melt 2 tbls of butter and add bread crumbs…let brown…add asparagus and toss until coated with bread crumbs. Easy enough, I added parmesan cheese just to give it a little extra flavor.
I have to say…I did not enjoy the asparagus at all…the texture was weird and it had no flavor whatsoever other than the butter, bread crumbs and parmesan….According the Christian Science Monitor (don’t ask) white asparagus is a real delicacy in Germany and it is much lauded and greatly anticipated….I don’t get it.
If you have some suggestions to make it better I am all ears, in the mean-time, I will stick to my green asparagus. So, it makes your pee smell weird, at least I like the taste of it 
On the plus side – the chicken was good and I had a great salad of fresh spinach, mangos and goat cheese.
Two out of three isn’t bad.
