Why I’m here…
@feorag
ARGH!!!!
How utterly mouth-wateringly beautiful!
@feorag apropos of yesterdays post, if you put Spargel hartgekochte Eier into DuckDuckGo, you’ll find lots of pictures and recipes. Origin seems to be Silesia/Poland. Probably dispersed into western Germany after the war.

@Tho99 @feorag That is odd. My area (#Ruhrgebiet) has a lot of Polish family names but I have yet to encounter hard boiled eggs on #asparagus.
Maybe it’s a very local thing in #Poland, too, so it depends on time and place people came from. I’ll ask my Polish friends.

Schöner Tag noch!
@chris @Tho99 @feorag I'm Polish, love asparagus. Never had them with a hard-boiled egg.
@skolima @Tho99 @feorag Even more mysterious: A Polish friend living in #Brussels just wrote that he does not remember whether he encountered #asparagus with eggs in #Poland but that it was a common dish in #Belgium!
We need someone to research asparagus dishes in the context of migration in Europe. Maybe there‘s a EU grant some competent researcher can apply for?
@feorag I have never seen that much asparagus in one place 😲
@cobrabay And that’s only about half of the wall. And part of one of many stalls selling asparagus on the market.

@cobrabay @feorag I wish it was easier to get white asparagus in England

Having said which, the green asparagus I bought last week was really tasty

@bellinghman @cobrabay there’s a grower in Scotland.
