An inn in Meckel (Rhineland-Palatinate) attracted attention online with its asparagus menu. Several commenters had to defend the restaurant.
According to the Federal Center for Nutrition, 1.6 kilograms of fresh asparagus were consumed per capita in Germany in 2021/2022. "When starters are now offered at the price of the main course, I lose my appetite," writes one angry guest, while another writes, "Are you still pretty cool!"...A restaurant's asparagus menu caused some discussion online. How much can asparagus cost? Several users are defending the courts. The Gasthaus Herrig apparently relies on seasonal food - and of course, asparagus is a must at the moment. 'Our asparagus comes from the Palatinate and is cooked sous vide, it has never seen water. The hollandaise is, of course, homemade in the traditional way,' the inn says.
