New word for you - a seasonal one!

Asparaginous : resembling asparagus.

Another new word from my old dictionary. Now, why did I not know this one before?

A good one for this time of year - the spring asparagus is just coming in. Buy it by the kilo, you can get just the amount you want - "bunches" are all different sizes. I like it stir fried, but nothing beats asparagus in melted butter... except perhaps a cheese sauce.
