Asparagus must be Steamed! Best Taste in the world! I use what my mother
called a double boiler (it's a funny double pot which has holes in the
bottom of the top part). Cook it for around three minutes, or to taste.
comes out still tasty.

eat it plain, or with a pinch of salt.

lemon/lime might also be tasty, but a waste of asparagus.
