Here in dusseldorf in the springtime there is excitement in the air. Yes the weather gets nicer but also it's the season for asparagus. The green one is common but it's the white asparagus that gets people excited. At the start of the season you will see shows that will show you the best way to prepare it and the restaurants have special menus that feature the strange looking vegetable. It's the time where the white asparagus is the main course and you might get meat or fish as a side. I heard that it's grown a special way. As soon as it starts to sprout they cover it with dirt so that it does not have a chance to get sun to get green. It's a lot more work to prepared than the green type. You have to peel the whole thing with a special peeler. Its cooked boiled or steamed and then covered with hollandaise sauce. The whole thing just melts in your mouth. SO delicious!
