Tie in bundles and put in a kettle of boiling salted water to cook, so placing the bundles that the tops stand out of water. The steam from the boiling water will serve to cook the tops. When the asparagus is tender, drain. Place the stalks on a slice of toast and moisten the toast with one tablespoon of hot water and two tablespoons of melted fat. The number of stalks of asparagus will be determined by the size and length of the individual stalks. From twelve pounds, sixty servings should be obtained.
