For Peter Slade of 2 North Parade Produce Store, the start of the years growing season is always signaled by the arrival of asparagus and he is very lucky to have a farm on our doorstep. Charlie Gee cycles fresh asparagus over to us every day from his Medley Manor farm on Binsey Lane in Oxford. There are so many great ways to eat asparagus; with homemade hollandaise, butter and lemon, in a risotto, tossed in a mixed salad with mozzarella, but his favourite is the fresh, rich, salty contrast of asparagus, eggs and bacon.
Dunk your asparagus soldiers into the soft egg.
