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 :)

    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.

      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.
