About the only way I ever get them here is canned and you might as well forget that! To have them fresh would be a treat indeed.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791018174075586241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-91159806837505065502012-06-27T20:06:49.280+01:002012-06-27T20:06:49.280+01:00I have to agree that the asparagus doesn't loo...I have to agree that the asparagus doesn't look like asparagus -- it's so thick I'd think it would be really woody and almost inedible! Spatzle, however, is wonderful (the advantages of travelling for work and getting to eat lots of random foods).Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-460794305442796422012-06-27T14:45:47.617+01:002012-06-27T14:45:47.617+01:00It all looks good to me. :)It all looks good to me. :)shabby girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340974325967555770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-63093667653866033432012-06-27T13:12:05.096+01:002012-06-27T13:12:05.096+01:00You are welcome, John!

We get several varieties of asparagus here; I much prefer the green one, too, and somehow I automatically assumed the white one is just as well known elsewhere.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-54140778615509494022012-06-27T08:54:18.431+01:002012-06-27T08:54:18.431+01:00Glad you got help from Meike because with this one...Glad you got help from Meike because with this one I'd have been lost!

That's why I didn't recognise it.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-63772999188887820472012-06-27T06:22:01.739+01:002012-06-27T06:22:01.739+01:00Glad to help!

What, if not asparagus, is the cream-coloured stuff on the left? :-)<br /><br />Linsen and Spätzle is easy - of course it is not lenses but lentils, and you can read more about Spätzle on my blog; it is the Swabian staple food:<br />http://librarianwithsecrets.blogspot.de/2011/10/spatzle-for-dummies.html<br /><br />Nussle is probably Nüssle with an ü. Literally, that means "small nuts", but as far as I know, in that part of Germany, they use the word for field salad / lamb's lettuce.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-86626555332097959032012-06-27T06:11:28.588+01:002012-06-27T06:11:28.588+01:00The white finger-like things in the third post are...The white finger-like things in the third post are asparagus, but the white sort for which the area is famous. Linsen would be Lentils and home made noodles (although spatzle is like a cross between a dumpling and a noodle!) I wish I could help more - I lived for three years very close to Lorach.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
