And while the camera lingered for a moment on the grill, you barely hear in the background a gay couple chatting, and one says to the other 'you know, the way they raise asparagus these days, they're like the veal of the vegan industry.'
Subtle, economical, pithy, . . that's just good writing.

Heh, that's pretty good.
My biggest gripe about asparagus is the logistics around eating it. Kind of stringy to cut, and can't really impale it with a fork and lift. While I love it straight off the grill, I almost prefer it the next day cut up in a scramble or omelette like I did tonight. Nice way to impart some grilled flavors in an egg dish.
