pirl said:Memories die hard! The horrid smell of canned spinach lives forever. When I tasted fresh spinach I had a hard time believing it could be the same green lump that my mom and one sister devoured with lots of butter. Same for asparagus! I wouldn't touch either of them. Salads were always iceburg - never any variation. My mom was a very good cook with desserts, chicken, meat, etc. but not veggies.


OMG, taking me back here... went downstate to visit my mom many years ago and for a "treat" she served canned asparagus; at that time my ex and I had a huge asparagus patch and ate the stuff until we were pretty much sick of it Blinking

Now I again have a patch that provides more than plenty... but it sure is the absolute best thing in the spring!
