White AsparagusSUNDAY - a pretty SUNny day. A good day to have asparagus for lunch. Usually, I'll just stir fry it with some garlic and salt but today I added some fishcakes.
Asparagus are delicious and sweet and can be cooked simply by just grilling it or steamed and served with butter. They can be cooked with all sorts of meat and still taste as good. There are a few types of asparagus, some are white, some are green and there is a wild one called "Bath " asparagus.
