Etiquette Tip of the Week: How to Eat Asparagus

Spring has sprung so guess what that means?  Asparagus is on sale.
 
Asparagus may be eaten with the fingers if the stalk is crisp and not flopping over like a wet noodle.  In formal dining, or if it is covered in sauce or dressing, it is best to eat asparagus with a fork and knife.

Whether you pick it up or cut it up, asparagus is a good source of vitamins, protein and fiber.  And it tastes way better than brussel sprouts.

Thank you to our colleagues at the Culture & Manners Institute for sharing this bit of wisdom!
