When I served a mission for our church for 1 and a 1/2 year in 1996-1998, asparagus is not a problem with us. It wasn't only cheap, but we don't need to buy it. Why? Because in the place where I served in General Santos City, Dole has a very big asparagus, bananas and pineapples plantations. Members of the church work there and they just give it to us free! Back then, I wasn't a fan of asparagus and that's when I learned to eat it especially if you got nothing to eat. Now, asparagus is very expensive especially here in the U.S. I just wished I could go back there and get some to take here with me, that way I don't have to worry buying expensive asparagus at all.Dates to Remember...

hahaha... i noticed that too ... in the Philippines we can eat plenty of delicious fruits and vegetables affordable, yet i prefer meat ... even malunggay is just at the backyard, my neighbors can ask it for free. I missed our vegies and sweet fruits really.
yup, i miss malunggay, too! there you can ask your neighbor for veggies and even fruits like banana, but here you have to buy everything :-) so sad :-(

hi cecille, just to let you know asparagus is my favorite kind of vegetable I even adobo it with pork or just plain asparagus adobo...heheheh
