Asparagus season

It's that time of the year: Spargelzeit! Time for asparagus! Which raises two questions: Do you like asparagus or not? And do you prefer white or green asparagus?

This is an episode about asparagus. And about memories that are connected to food.

It is also an episode about the ways in which small talk often starts at the surface and then moves on to deeper topics – or even onto thin ice.

Whether your English is “team green asparagus”, “team white asparagus” or team “stay away from me, asparagus” – this episode is for you.
