I wish there was a weight to use vs how many and the only other answer was .5 a cup.

You REALLY need to read this whole thread. Because A) many, MANY people are considering that the thickness of the spears is a factor, and B) because this thread is fucking hilarious.

It is also 4 years old, so you are late to the party.

I'm really late but I LOVE asparagus and I really think 30 per person ought to do it.

A pound for starters. Double that if there’s enough hollandaise.

For the life of me I can’t see what is funny or even interesting about this thread.

End the debate. Poach the spears lightly. Wrap 5-7 (depending on thickness. It ALWAYS depends on thickness) in spiral of bacon. Broil for a few minutes to crisp the bacon. Your serving is a packet.

GASP! A spiral of bacon! What devilry have we here? The post is so old, I will go to my grave never being enlightened.

We don’t need revival of all of the threads on the “best of” list.

I’d say five per person. But the kids will take less or none at all, so you are fine.
