candied asparagus?

Question

Does such thing exist? Not that I'd be tempted to eat it, just curious.

Answer 1

I'm thinking that there are just some things in this world that shouldn't be candied and asparagas is one of them! However, here's an intriguing thought: What if you wrapped a piece of peppered bacon around an asparagas stalk, then rolled it in brown sugar and broiled it????

Answer 2

Yes, it does exist... found with the other canned veggies at the grocery store. Actually, it's not that bad... a bit mushy, but my 4 year olds eat it up faster than anything! Give it a try.

To prove so, here is an excerpt from the site listed below:

Asparagus

Asparagus is more expensive than other vegetables, because much of the harvesting and preparation during processing is done by hand. The spear, or stalk, consists of the stem and head (tip). There are two types of asparagus: green and white. Green asparagus is canned or frozen; white asparagus is canned. White asparagus is a delicacy, produced by mounding earth around the plants so that the stalks develop entirely underground. Sometimes canned asparagus is packed in glass jars with a note on the label that a color preservative (stannous chloride) has been added. Some canned asparagus spears may have shattered heads, because asparagus is such a delicate product.

Answer 3

It doesn't exist, but if you want to try, use a recipe for candied yam topping.

Answer 4

Never heard of it and I thinks there is a reason why not

Answer 5

Never heard of it. I sure hope not, sounds disgusting
