i used to think the same until a flatmate cooked some up. cut off any woody stems. if theyre young and tender cook them whole. if theyre big af i cut them into 1-2 inch segments. fry them in butter with salt and pepper until they wilt a bit or to taste. had some with cauli (start frying the cauli 5-10m before you put the asparagus in) a couple of weeks ago and it fucking rocked. starting to wonder about new ways to cook it now
