That asparagus looks tinned. Do you not get fresh in the Netherlands?Yum!
I found affordable asparagus!
Had them with 2 mashed eggs with butter and salt, some smoked trout salad which was on offer and a couple of very small baby potatoes, again with butter and salt.

Oh, I've never thought of peeling them...but I suppose thats what they do to tinned ones. I am an idiotNot tinned at all! Just peeled and cooked.
But they were cheaper because it were the lopsided ones!
If you don't peel them it's impossible to bite a piece off! In my family asparagus have been a luxury food since I were a child, and they are finger food. Asparagus in one hand, fork with some egg in the other, combine in mouth.Oh, I've never thought of peeling them...but I suppose thats what they do to tinned ones. I am an idiot

Got taken out for a pub lunch today.
Starter of prawn and crayfish cocktail
Then spicy burger with spicy cheese. Asked then to hold the bun and chips. Waitress suggested extra avocado so I said yes.
But when bill came they still charged full whack for the main AND extra for the avocado. Felt I couldn't complain as was being paid for.
Did steal 4 of hubbys whitebait that came fried in breadcrumbs and about 6 of his chips
Drank sparkling water with lemon
Was very filling so will try for OMAD today
