I get the best asparagus from Costco though it only comes in three-pound packs. What I bought recently was very good; I like the thicker stalks because they seem to me more flavorful. |

Linda, The pipette-thin stalks are really nice *if* you can get them less than 2 days old. The problem with getting them from, say, Costco is that they dry out a lot faster. |

Paul, Correct. It doesn't really cook per se; but raw asparagus shavings are perfectly edible. Provided the asparagus is good in the first place. BTW, don't expect much of the California asparagus crop this year, for obvious reasons. |

We bought some asparagus at the Italian Market in Philadelphia this weekend but I suspect it's from California (they don't bother with origin labeling there). |
