Disgusting stuff...rather eat the tongue out of my boot...
I will eat the tops, but the stalks are not good to me.

When I was a kid asparagus season was my time to hit the roads...on my bike. It grew wild everywhere. Not unusual to get 20 pounds in a day. We ate some and my mother sold some in the Mom&Pop grocery store. As I got older the darn stuff started to disappear. The farm spray killed much of the wild stuff along the roads and I think the state roads people applied something to the sides of the roads to keep the grass and weeds down so they only had to mow once or twice a year.
I like to dump a couple of cans of cream of asparagus soup into a big pan and then add a can of cooked asparagus to it. Makes a really hearty soup.
It would no doubt be better if it were made fresh, but for a quick meal, the canned stuff is pretty good, IMO.

We like them warm or cold with Best foods Mayo, however it is fantastic
with the small tips cooked , placed on a plate and then.........
heated butter, cooked to a dark brown, poured over them.
Adding some "Parm" on top is an option.

Married . . . . That word in your post made me think of Marry Me Chicken. Wonderful stuff with sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan/cream sauce, garlic and boneless chicken thighs. One thing makes it phenomenal. Asparagus! Broiled and tossed into the mix is synergism at its best.
Whoa.... I am making me hungry!
Ace Ventura likes asparagus.
I used to like it steamed with mayo as a "dip".
Now I just eat steamed with some seasoning salt.
My favorite now is coated in olive oil, a little salt and a little parmesian cheese and roasted in the broiler.
Enough to make me quit eating it

I like it grilled, baked or I will pick it and eat it right there. Did that just yesterday the first stalk in the garden this year.

We had asparagus last night with lamb chops, baked potatoes and orange wedges. Just a few minutes in the air fryer with olive oil, a quick shot of lemon juice and kosher salt.

My wife and MIL hate it. I like it.
Dollar Tree sells jars of asparagus from Peru for $1.25.
Just the right size portion for me.
I picked up a jar for myself to go along with tomorrows ribeye and baked potato.
While on the subject of baked potatoes, my wife has been putting butter and Helluva Good french onion dip on ours. Pretty tasty.
Went to the farmers market Saturday and grabbed the last bunch of purple asparagus they had. Never tried the purple before but love the green stuff. I will cook it up tonight and see if it is any different.

Usually grilled or broiled with seasoning.
Not a fan of food that needs a lot of help to be made palatable.
