By this time last year greengrocers had been inundated with cheap Spanish asparagus. There were market stalls doing two bunches for a pound. What has happened to it? I have not seen any this year and we are now into the English asparagus season. English is the best, but it is more expensive so is a treat.

There's a lot of Italian asparagus in the supermarkets here at the moment but it's not cheap - 8 euros for a kilo at the moment and sometimes more. I love asparagus though but I can't justify getting it that often - it's the same price as salmon!
