The fish was delicious

I have not tried the fish soup.

Yummy, the fish looks good.
I tried their fish soup in Bruges before.
Kinda creamy.

I didn’t realise that I was privileged to be able to enjoy the asparagus because it is seasonal. I tried it because it is a local dish and within reason I always try out the dishes of the places I visit.

Have you tried the purple headed asparagus? I like that too

We ALWAYS grab the white asparagus whenever it’s available, Cherry, because it’s around for only a short-window of time. I had never heard of it while in America, only knowing the green variety, which I LOVE. Now I love both of them.

I’m glad to see that you did get some good use out of your day, in spite of the set-backs.

Yes it was disappointing that it wasn’t advertised that it was currently closed.

I have to confess to not being a big fan of green asparagus, I find the taste a little bitter.

I had to try an asparagus dish when I was away because it is one of the local dishes. The white asparagus was much more to my liking, it had a softer sweeter taste more like leek.

Sounds like a wonderful time was had.

You filled your day well, CHerie, but a real disappointment about the Abbey – not somewhere you can just pop back to
