Oddly enough, I looked up the term and found this recipe that uses green
onion.

http://www.germancorner.com/recipes/...asparagus.html

And this one for daylilies. Never heard that one before.

http://livingfree.aubreecherie.com/2...cookdaylilies/

Several for samphire.

https://beetsandbutter.com/2016/03/3...ans-asparagus/

As you can see, they are trying to recreate something that is in some way
like asparagus which is what Jacques did. Seasoned it like he would
asparagus. Now I still don't know about mustard on there. Oh! I'll look
that up too. Ah. Lots of recipes. Apparently very common. My dislike for
the stuff never led me to seek out a recipe except for hollandaise but...
And Jill will love this! My husband prefers his steamed.

I think I'll make the cauliflower soup today and buy some leeks later
in the week for some potato & leek. It's that time of year here where
soups come into their own.

Yeah, you can't take his claims at face value... they tend to be over

Yup. Sandy doesn't have to equate to the Sahara desert.

I would say out of all vegetables, that hold true the most for
asparagus. MUST be fresh, otherwise I actually dislike it (canned
being another matter).

Are they? I wonder if they make the soil acidic or what.

That sounds really nice Janet. I put canned asparagus on my shopping

May I ask what exactly salad shrimp is? Just fresh, small shrimp or
processed in some way?

Which reminds me. A few weeks ago we had some leftover prawns/shrimp,
I chopped them up in a blender, added some aioli, a little cayenne,
good quality cream cheese, some whole grain mustard, S&P and fresh
chopped parsley... basically a devilled shrimp spread. Very nice with
a fresh loaf of bread for sandwiches. I'll make it again with any
future leftover prawns.
