I'm with you, will eat asparagus occasionally but have always liked
liver, no matter what sort of critter it came out of. Hard to even
find liver in the Houston area unless you can find a real butcher
shop, which I just ran across one. Will be going back for liver soon.
My wife likes asparagus and liver and pretty much will eat anything.
As the middle child of five, two older brothers and two younger
sisters, with the two boys being very large, she had to scrap for her
food at the table.

If you have not tried really fresh asparagus you don't know what you
are missing, the best flavour is lost within hours. Supermarket
asparagus is a poor substitute, canned is not food.

You missed some attributions there , Dave . I don't know how much fresher
it can get , from the farm to the table was like under a couple of hours .
Not quite as good as slicing a still-sun-warm tomato onto your BLT , but
pretty close .
Besides , it makes my pee smell funny .
