cA “CAS ILEGAR NEWS, May i9,'1981 “Some tips on buying asparagus VANCOUVER (CP) — The French hold it in such esteem they save it for a special course, The English consider it quite correct to pick it up with our fingers and dip it in melted butter. And almost everywhere else, cooks find inspiration in those fresh green stalks of asparagus that herald spring in the kitchen, Unlike many luxury foods, asparagus has more going for it than flavor. It's good for you, There are only 10 calories in four spears, or 35 calories per 175 grams (one cup of cut pieces).

What's important is not to cook it to death. Some people like to tie it in loose bundles and boil it in two or three inches of salted water ina pot tall enough to accommodate the upright stalks, the theory being that the tougher ends will cook while the tender tips steam without overcooking. Others prefer to cook it flat in a single layer using a covered frypan: with just a little simmering water. And like so many vege- tables, for crisp texture and superb flavor it's wonderful stir-fried in a little hot oi! or a mixture of oil and butter. /@nn Landers “4 Dear Ann Landers: | am a 22-year-old medical student.
