We used to have them with Sunday lunch when I was a kid. I think you boil them gently, but you could steam them. The secret is to have a little pot of melted butter on the table and dip the tips before you eat. Delicious.

A friend of mine in Germany used to make a sort of creamy sauce to pour over asparagus. That's not exactly a Lancashire recipe though is it? :yelrotflmao:

I think i cooked them too long, they went all soggy,but they were nice with butter..
My best dish is home made cheese and onion pie, i always get that one right...:thumbsup:

My mum used to make them the same way, made the cheese last longer during and just after the war when it was still rationed.
