Table manners for beginners: etiquette when eating asparagus

Workshop on asparagus dining etiquette with a three-course menu from the Mediterranean Cooking Society 2000 e.V. "Table manners for beginners: etiquette for eating asparagus" is the name of the workshop offered by "Museum frei Haus" and the Mediterranean Cooking Society in collaboration with Eliette von Gemmingen. Just a few generations ago, eating asparagus meant "from hand to mouth." Since then, it's not just the ways of preparing asparagus that have changed. It's no longer just boiled, but also cooked sous-vide or in the oven, steamed or fried – and table manners have evolved accordingly: it's now eaten with a knife and fork. Eliette von Gemmingen is dedicated to the important topic of "table culture." With von Gemmingen, an active member of the German Knigge Society, workshop participants will immerse themselves in the world of Freiherr von Knigge. The expert not only gives tips on how to use cutlery, but also provides interesting information about the different types of asparagus, how to prepare them, and possible dishes, as well as corresponding wine recommendations. The cost for the nearly three-hour workshop, including a simple three-course menu from the Mediterranean Cooking Society, is €12.50.
