Forty four years ago, about this time, I was coming to the end of my exchange year in Germany. My German had gotten pretty good but there were still a lot of holes in my vocabulary. On Saturdays school ended early, before lunch so I would be home and frequently helped in the kitchen. Friday night, Klaus, my host father, had announced that we would be having ‘spargel’ for lunch the next day. I had no idea what spargel was and Klaus’s description of a white vegetable that grew underground didn’t help. Adding to the confusion was Klaus’s general aversion to any food that wasn’t meat, potatoes or boiled to a light grey color.
Great pictures! You look like a real adventurer Anita! Dan - you’re such a farmer! The castle is magical
I'm enjoying your travels so much - That castle looks amazing. You're my heroes!
We are so enjoying your adventure!!! We agree that green asparagus is much better! So . . . how DO you say stinky pee in German???
Definitely white asparagus, kept long, with hollandaise sauce.
Thank you for your laughter as you greet the asparagus grower!
Godspeed.
Thanks so much for allowing us to live your adventure vicariously by updating this travelogue on Sub stack.
I'd be curious what the reaction has been overseas, if any, to the 34 count conviction!!
Definitely Team Green Asparagus! So weird to go to so much trouble to keep the taste OUT of the veggie.
Awesome update! Love the photos of you guys on your adventures!
