Recipes with asparagus Especially widely celebrated it inOf England. On April 23, all sorts of festivals and contests take place all over the country: who will eat asparagus more than anyone else, who is the fastest, who has grown the most delicious asparagus, and who will eat the most beautiful, most juicy, and so on. But perhaps the most original gift to the “vegetable of kings” will be presented this year by the famous auction house Bonhams. Today a unique auction will be held in London, where a private collection of kitchenware from the 18th and early 19th centuries will be exhibited. What's so unusual about that? And the fact that these are dishes for asparagus. Asparagus in England has always been very popular, and the English masters even invented special cutlery for it: ceramic trays in the shape of a fan with two low sides at the edges or in the form of stylized sea shells. laid out with a thick end to the wide side and placed in front of each device. And only then the asparagus was put on a plate and watered with melted butter from a tiny saucepan. A special pride of Bonhams experts is whole sets of trays and sauceboats. The starting price of such a set is six hundred or nine hundred pounds. Source: try. Ru.
