An inn in Meckel, Rhineland-Palatinate, also caused a sensation by publishing its asparagus menu on Facebook. Some commenters directly defended the restaurant.
But there is also support for the inn and the owners of the inn. Per capita consumption of fresh Asparagus in Germany was 1.6 kilograms in the period 2021/2022. Purchase prices for asparagu are traditionally highest in April, as local asparagine is still expensive and less available.. The Gasthaus Herrig inn, like many other restaurants, attaches great importance to seasonal dishes. The restaurant responded to the outrage with a detailed explanation of its pricing: “We are inns for people who want to spend a few sociable hours with friends without any preparatory work.” But not all potential customers share the inn’s enthusiasm react with incomprehension to the final wish “Have fun with it’’. The inn owners say they are happy about this support and: "We see it the same way"
