So, I stumbled down a majolica rabbit hole the other day and learned that the french have special serving ware just for asparagus. A gilded ceramic altar that drains moisture away and keeps those emerald spears crisp and glorious. This makes total sense and brought me back to my time in Austria during white asparagus season where the word spargel was spoken with a hushed reverence usually reserved for holy objects. This sent me on a quest for magical finds for asparagus junkies everywhere that will charm and delight you.
