An Ode to Asparagus

Oh Asparagus! Your delightful stalks do entice me,
Thin and crunchy, whispering "come bite me",
Not from a can no, because that's just gross;
Only the fresh ones can arouse my purple prose.
And if some lemon juice in the fridge I see
Why, then in gastronomic heaven shall I be.

*is completely random*

Ooh, asparagus! I'm making an asparagus pasta tonight - the asparagus is chopped up and sauteed in olive oil with five minced garlic cloves and some red pepper flakes, then tossed with cooked medium-sized tube shaped pasta and a dash or two of hot sauce... MMMmmmmm sogood. Man, I love asparagus season.

MMMMMMMM. I just ate at Red Lobster so I'm not salivating but that sounds delicious. I love asparagus season too :D

*laughing* Yei to Odes! (I remember I wrote one to Chocolate once. Your option is definitely healthier!)

Ahaha, the ode was born partly from disgust of canned asparagus and partly from staying awake all night trying to finish a paper. Would love to see your ode to chocolate :D

I'd have to dig it up. I wrote it about a decade ago, but I remember it started somehow like

Oh yes, thou art, oh sweet divine,
that conquered at once this heart of mine.

Something of the sort. :)

Asparagus...yummy stuff. Cook to crunchy tender, wrap with thin ham layer, then crepe layer. Douse with hollendaise. Slice, bite, orgasm.

*note to self: make more crepes*

I am now dead from your gastronomic poetry. Who would have thought you can write an ode about fresh asparagus?

*giggles and laughs*

Ah, it's food, is it not? Food always inspires me to greater heights. Heh.
