Our housing area was next to one of those large Spargel fields between
Heidelberg and Schwetzingen. During the short season, the local restaurants
featured the asparagus with a choice of sauces; the meat was listed as a
side dish. We discovered that the local farmer's market on the square in
Schwetzingen had a decent price for the asparagus. A substantial discount
was offered if the asparagus had peeked at the light and had a light green
tinge.
