Somebody (I don't remember who) gave me canned asparagus once when I was a child.
I went through the next 15 years or so convinced that asparagus was one of
the most foul vegetables in existence. Fortunately, around the age of 21-ish,
someone introduced me to fresh asparagus. My husband and I now eat asparagus
probably 2-3 times a week, year round. Mmm-mmm good. So, I *more than* agree
with your statement about canned asparagus!
All righty, question for anybody who's done home canning: Does store-bought
canned asparagus taste icky because it wasn't good fresh asparagus in the first
place, or is it because of the canning process? I have found that if asparagus
has any odor before it's cooked, it will have a bitter flavor when it's done.
So, I'm wondering if I can can fresh asparagus from my garden with better results
than the store-bought stuff. Or, should I freeze it?
