I was peeling some asparagus only last night. I'll bet that's one thing you miss about the US - tender asparagus that doesn't require peeling. For me and asparagus though it's the screams when they go in the steamer. Doing lobster and asparagus for the same meal makes me feel like a mass murderer. Invariably, I am kept awake that night with the horrid sounds of it all.

I am really unclear on the concept here with your squirming asparagus. All of the vegetables I kill die as soon as they are rudely ripped from the warm earth. I guess they suffocate, a lot like the poor fish do. Do Italian vegetables sometimes survive long enough to be sliced and diced and boiled alive? That's REALLY gross!! I think I will start a political action group, to ensure that all produce dies a humane death in the familiar field it started its life in, basking the the warm rays of the energizing sun until fully expired. Transporting dying fruits and vegetables to market is inhumane, after all, akin to carving up animals that are still alive at the slaughterhouse.
