Apr 22, Farm Shop Asparagus - Unbeatable??

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:14:20 -0400

On Friday I dropped into a farm shop that I've just discovered hiding about 100m away from my route to and from work. Primrose Vale Farm Shop is just off a roundabout that I use on the way to the site I am currently working at. Each day I've been turning right at the roundabout without knowing that if I turn left a farm driveway opens up about 100m along the road taking me to one of the best farm shops I've seen! I found it about a week ago but on my first visit they were out of asparagus by the time I arrived. On friday however as I walked through the door facing me was a crate of loose asparagus, mostly pretty thick with a few skinny stems thrown in, not very straight (actually quite a lot of very bent spears) but very fresh looking. I put a meals worth in a plastic bag, picked out some new potatoes from cornwall and a pot of blackcurrant yoghurt and was on my way. After a busy week at work and my husband suffering with man flu we resisted the tempatation to eat them on on Friday and saved the spears for Saturday. We were not disapointed. We kept it simple steaming them in the microwave and serving with butter. Our daughter chose to have parmesan cheese grated on hers. Those asparagus were tender, juicy and oh so tasty. I ate them with my fingers which is the only way as far as i am concerned. Mike doesn't subscribe to my eating habits and, as usual, ate his with knife and fork! We had them as a starter with nothing to complicate or detract from the flavour and they were delicious (more than delicious amazingly delicious!). I'm afraid this photo really doesn't do this dish justice but we weren't hanging around to test the photos, we wanted to get on and enjoy our meal. Of course I know that out of the garden or straight from the farm shop is best but some days you get a reminder that hits you smack in the face. That was our Saturday night treat!!! The moral of this story find yourself a good farm shop that sells its own asparagus and if you can't find one locally try ordering mail order (see the link). Just make sure you make the most of the season, it won't last long!!!
