lately i’ve seen asparagus packaged in a strange plastic that seems to keep it unspoiled for a very long time. i don’t know that the asparagus tastes so great - i find these days - the “fresh” produce one can buy lacks flavor, is often wood like, or just tastes otherworldly. but somehow we still need to survive so eating the stuff remains a thing.
I don't have enough young children left to work a farm!
We can swap stories, lol
