What are asparagus tongs used for?
1 Answer
It shouldn’t be a surprise that asparagus tongs were used for handling asparagus, but what might be surprising is that there were two types of asparagus tongs, those for serving the stalk vegetables, and those for eating it. They’ve fallen out of favor these days and it’s exceedingly rare to see them on a table. You’ll find a variety of asparagus tongs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
