...if you're German that is.

Because it's Spargelzeit. Asparagus time.

Those disturbingly phallic, evil tasting little sticks of devil-hate will be thrust into every Berliner's face for the next three months.

The most worrying thing is that most people are happy about that. Nothing like things being available for a limited periods of time to make people not care about whether it actually tastes good or not. Right, Cadbury's Creme Egg?

I just want to officially state that I am boycotting Spargelzeit this year. If anyone invites me to dinner and there are goddam aparagus on my plate, I will fucking throw them at you. You survived the last nine months without them, didn't you? So get a fricking grip!
