Spargel

White asparagus!

Just before we left for Germany in March, Donica's mom (who had lived in Germany years ago for 5 years with the Civil Service) told us to make sure we ate lots of spargel when it came in season.

It's in season now, from May to June, and we're eating it every chance we get! In fact, this is a picture of it on our train trip yesterday from Hannover-to Munich-to-Salzburg. I've even bought it in the grocery store twice and cooked it for us. It's bigger than green asparagus and has to be peeled. Kinda fun, especially for what you get out of it.

Had to share this food trivia since it has been such a nice, delectable surprise!
