Profitable dog walk this morning. Spotted some wild asparagus growing at the side of our chemin.

The nicest asparagus I have ever had was collected from a road verge (v small road).
Me too, wild asparagus is delicious. Hard work to pick but worth the effort.
Is this the same as wild hops? An old friend of ours used to pick it in spring. He said it was wild hops but they tasted like asparagus when young
I wouldn’t have known, but it seems that wild hops (hop shoots aka) and wild asparagus taste and look similar but are quite different.
And you can make a delicious pesto with wild garlic.
Yes, I make a pesto from wild garlic too. Nice change from the original version. Also nice is a parsley and walnuts recipe.
Never heard of wild hops but wild asparagus is very distinctive.
Wild hops are good for you but be careful with wild asparagus.
