New Season Asparagus 💚

Here comes the majestic Asparagus! Just like Beaujolais Nouveau for wine buffs, us foodies eagerly anticipate the arrival of this mighty spear as a sign that the new growth of Spring is truly here.

We source our Asparagus from Peter Tickle (yes Mr Tickle...) who runs his mixed veg farm near Cliffe in Kent. He crops for us every Tuesday morning. We have the wonderful stems back in our fridge by lunchtime, after travelling only 17 Food Miles. 

As we take anything fresh & Kentish- we do not care about size/shape/colour etc -  we get a great price from Peter, about 25% less than other suppliers. We, of course, pass this on to you.

We do need to talk about your pee though. Take a seat.

Your pee smelling of Asparagus is nothing to be ashamed of. It was originally thought that your pee smelt only if you had a certain gene. A badge of honour then and a great dinner table chat, especially with the kids. Pee talk, they love it.

New research though shatters perceived wisdom! It seems everyone's pee smells after eating asparagus, you have to have the right genes TO SMELL IT!

Quite the revelation I'm sure you will agree. This leads me to a question though. How did they find this out? I can only assume they took a group of people with & without smelly pee and they sniffed each others. Some gig.

So, and I hesitate to say this, if you want to prove it match up a group of smelly and non-smelly and sniff each others pee. If the smelley can smell Asparagus in the non-smelly wee and vice versa case proved. 

My mum warned me about these sort of parties though, so tread carefully.
