First we cut the asparagus with a knife, then with our fingers – And again we do it wrong

How should the base of asparagus be cut? Asparagus makes a funny snap when you bend its stem and cut off the woody end of the asparagus. Pruning cuts the asparagus at exactly the right place, they say. Now the sayings have started to be reversed a little and people are saying that trimming the dry end of the asparagus with a knife is more reasonable, because when you bend and cut off the good and juicy part of the asparagus, you may end up in the trash.
