from that caterer i am certain it would be nasty. at home, if not

come to think of it, asparagus kept warm on a steam table on in

Bruce seems to have something against asparagus in general, as well as
any form of corn.  I'm not sure what Bruce actually eats since all he
does is disparage any mention of food on a cooking ng.  I do think
vegetables kept warm on a steam table over sterno would probably be
nasty.

I don't disparagus anything except steamed asparagus. That's such a
boring way to cook a great vegetable. Oh, and I disparagus bad
additives, but who doesn't?

Steamed isn't horrible.  But it does make one realize why there
are so many ways to dress up steamed asparagus.  The French are
particularly adept at that.

On one of my biking trips to France, the restaurant next to the hotel
had a special of steamed white asparagus topped with foie gras poêlé.
It was delicious.

It would have been unpalatable if they used GREEN asparagus.
