So far no one hates asparagus but you. You should be glad you clicked monkeys instead, because otherwise you'd be in a lonely little club all by yourself. :)
It's not that I hate asparagus, it's that it hates me. Foods that induce my gag reflex are foods I will opt not to eat. It's a simple 1-2 step process, really.
As a general rule however, I will always choose Monkeys. I've been toying with the idea of getting a sloth tattoo recently! Two-toed sloths are almost cuter than pokémon!
Clearly you need more options. Although I never said that asparagus was monkeys; you're interpreting that meaning yourself. But thank you for the extra info.
I have steamed them, cooked them on the stovetop in a pan with olive oil and garlic butter, and also baked them (with salmon, all drizzled with a honey mustard sauce). What does blanching involve?
blanching is like steaming... it's a quick boil so that it's cooked but not completely mushy. It's a good way to sort of prep veggies so you can keep them in the fridge and just heat them up really fast for a meal.
Bertucci's makes an excellent (but simple) asparagus side dish. I only mention this because clearly, this is where people who may actually want this information hang out!!
