hop asparagus

/as-SPAH-rah-gus hops/
[English] plural asparagus hops

Very young and delicate hop shoots, a great delicacy. They are very sought-after in Venice where they are used in risotto. In England they are very rarely available fresh but can be found pickled, where the vinegar slightly overwhelms the delicate flavour.
