Spear Shakers Unite! It’s Asparagus Festival Time!!!!
You don’t have to be a gourmet, just someone who really LOVES food and drink!!!! What vegetable heralds Spring more than the asparagus? This symbol of rebirth and renewal is the perfect accompaniment to holiday meats such as ham and lamb. In my great grandparents’ Swabian and Bavarian hometowns of southwestern Germany asparagus, known as sparkel , has its’ own festivals. My cousins go mad for the white variety sold at roadside stands.
