A little time with thick spears...

So I was cooking dinner today and thought I would look on the internet and see if there was any special tricks with cooking asparagus. Instead I came across this vivid description of a favorite food of mine:

Asparagus spears can be thick or thin. Some people prefer one kind over another but size is not necessarily an indicator of quality. Thicker spears may have tougher, woodier ends, but these are broken off before cooking anyway. The key is to select straight, firm, uniformly sized spears with closed tips.


To hell with cooking, I want something else now...
