| I am making asparagus as a side dish for 8 people. Is 3 per person enough? |

| No. I'd go 5 or so. |

| I would say 3-4. Depends a bit on the length |

| I think 3 if fine unless its the only side. |

| What? No, 3 is not enough. At least 5. Better to have too much than too little. |

| There are 6 calories in an ounce of asparagus. Really, you're calling me a fat American for wanting more than 3 stalks of asparagus. Nervy! |

| Ok but as someone who practices portion control, I eat larger portions of vegetables to offset small portions of other items. Also as a vegetarian, I eat lots of vegetables. |
