Our first encounter was at the Wiesbaden farmer’s market.\u00a0 Dumbfounded by their pallid lifeless appearance, I imagined the vampire rabbit Bunnicula<\/a><\/strong> showing no mercy and ravishing the market before my arrival, sucking the color and flavor out of the stalks labelled, “Spargel.”<\/p>\n

I’ve since learned to appreciate why the Germans refer to this Spring staple as “white gold.”\u00a0 It’s temperamental, you won’t find this delicacy on tables until birds return to branches and dandelions sprout from palms of eager children making wishes.<\/p>\n

My attempt to bring the aroma I’d only inhaled over restaurant linens to my stove top brought me to Christie Dietz.\u00a0 She’s the brain, beauty and humor behind the website, A Sausage Has Two<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Her recipes have yet to fail me (Flammkuchen)<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Apparently I’m not the only fan. Christie recently shared on Instagram, “I woke up to discover I\u2019m a bloody finalist in the\u00a0@iacppix<\/a>\u00a0awards (Culinary Travel Writing category) for my\u00a0@natgeotraveluk<\/a>\u00a0piece on white asparagus…”<\/p>\n
