Hehe, the first pic is exactly the sort of thing I grew up on, and the second set are the sort of thing I changed to when I started cooking for myself, lol. I've only recently discovered asparagus myself, and I enjoy it a lot. It's nice to branch out~!
BTW I'd call it a pepper, but in other places they call them bell peppers or capsicum. They're tasty anyway. :9
Talking to other people our age, it seems a lot of them grew up on boiled potatoes, veggies and meat - and gave it up the moment they moved out. All my friends and various cousins did, at least! *laughs* I've had plenty of 'normal' white asparagus, but never the green ones. They make for a nice variation. :)
In Dutch it's called paprika, and peppers are, well. Chili peppers? The hot stuff, at least. I wasn't sure what to call them, since I've seen a multitude of names for them. (Capsicum is a new one for me, though!) But yes, very tasty. I'm eating them every chance I get, now - never got any of them before, because both my parents disliked them.
Haha, my diet was, when I was growing up, a lot more 'traditional' than a lot of my friends, lol. I never ate pasta till I was pretty old. When I was little it was what you made collages with! My boyfriend cooks a lot now though, lol, and he's quite... inventive. But usually in a good way! Though I have to say, I still do love a good roast dinner... :9
...There's white asparagus? :O The kind we get here is always green!
Same here - I introduced my mom to lasagna a couple of years ago... she'd never had it before I decided to make it for dinner one weekend. We had rice once a week (usually on Sundays), and that was terribly exciting - and when I got into my teens, spaghetti as well.
My first reaction was "Whaddayamean, there's white asparagus? Of course there is!", but then I realized that that might just be because we live in the part of the Netherlands where they're grown, so it's something I take for granted... and just as you only know the green ones, I only knew the whites. *laughs* (I even spent one week in my teens harvesting the damn things. My back didn't thank me, ouch.)
