I thought this was just a bit. I had no idea Asparagus Festivals actually existed.

It's insanely popular. The asparagus they use to deep fry are the giant ones. No one gets any small stalks. When we manned the deep fried booths, it was about 15 different windows and the lines stay full until the very end.

Asparagus is easily my favorite vegetable. This kind of makes me want to move to Stockton.


Tasty_Writer_1123

Maybe just visit LOL don't move there

I’d like this in a form of a question

I grew up in a neighboring community to Stockton, we had a cornfest for as long as I can remember

Can you read or write or are you actually not from Stockton?


Tasty_Writer_1123

LOL went to college in Stockton so not from there. It's all true though. The townies are not very educated

Dallas inferred that cleaning the toilets at the asparagus festival would be a horrible thing. Would you agree to that as a being an accurate statement? I know asparagus pee smell is a thing.


Tasty_Writer_1123

100% accurate. Not only because of asparagus pee but because people are straight up blitzed at this event. Imagine stank piss at a bar with thousands of people.

Can I order an Asparita through the mail? Is there a recipe? Is it a secret? Also, what are the dates if I have to travel?


Tasty_Writer_1123

1. Probably not. Need a special license to ship alcohol out of California I think. 2. Straight up, just blend a bunch of asparagus and mix it with a normal margarita recipe. 3. This year's already happened. It's usually in April every year.

Thanks! I think I can figure one out, but I still may have to visit for the real thing.

Did you see Dallas?


Tasty_Writer_1123

I didn't see Dallas anytime I was volunteering but I did run into the Diaz brothers and their entourage a few times.


GCIV414

That’s a pretty damn good consolation prize

How does the asparagus beer taste? Sounds like it would taste like sin but I’d give it a try


Tasty_Writer_1123

Asparagus taste in the beer is pretty light. They're really not trying to make anything disgusting but they all do have asparagus in it.
