I frequently eat asparagus, simply steamed, as an accompanying vegetable ( and I love broccoli too :-) )

Asparagus goes well with fish.

I'm with Liz, lightly steamed with hollandaise is my favourite and I like steamed artichokes like that too.  Or just melted butter with freshly ground salt and pepper.
