    Are you kidding? My entire family lives on the same or surrounding land. There is never less than 10 people per meal at this house. LOL

    Oh shit, I forgot to mention the sides. Bacon wrapped Asparagus on a wild greens salad. Dessert was Casaba melon. We had iced herbal tea for the beverage.

    Carne,

    What's your asparagus preparation and cooking method?
    Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance.If we extend it even to those who are intolerant,if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant,then the tolerant will be destroyed,tolerance with them.

    Well first of all, I pick them. We have asparagus growing wild on our land. Then I trim them up a bit. Wash thoroughly. I wrap the bacon around the asparagus bundles and bake in the oven. Usually 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. If I'm not wrapping them in bacon then usually I blanch them and give them an ice bath to keep the crunch.

    You get your bacon to cook all the way through that way? If you blanch the bacon first, it provides for a crisper product after baked. I prefer my asparagus blanched and shocked, then grilled with some olive oil, salt and pepper, and freshly chopped tarragon.

    I find asparagus to be one of those veggies that is done once it's hot all the way through...For 20 minutes in the oven, I'd need some asparagus as thick as a highlighter for it not to be dreadfully overcooked.

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Depends on the dish I'm serving it with. Blanching the bacon not only makes it more crisp but it mutes the flavor of the bacon which brings out the flavor of the asparagus (yum). This bacon is sliced thin so blanching wasn't necessary plus the stronger bacon flavor really accented the wild greens (Quelites).

    I wonder if you preferentially wrap the heads. Imo one of the hallmarks of perfect asparagus is letting the tips cook cooler or more briefly than the stalks. I used to hate the stuff. Now it's one of my favorite (read: least-despised) veg. cn

    <add> I am a huge, huge fan of baking bacon in a shallow pan in the oven. Baked bacon is just right every time, cooked but not burnt. Imo.

    I cannot STAND when crowns dry out or cook to the point that they fall apart. It's the BSD method that solves that, really. After blanched, they just need to be heated through anyway.
