I tried the asparagus ice cream with K Lo. Kate O’Beirne suggested that we order it, I think mainly so we could spend the rest of our lives telling people that we’ve actually tasted the stuff. Can you imagine a better topic for small talk? Having said that, I must say that if you really want to eat something that tastes like a vegetable, it should probably be an actual vegetable, so that you also derive a health benefit from it. In the meantime, I hope the biotechnologists figure out a way to make asparagus taste like chocolate.
