Doesnt weird looking herbaceous perennial vegetable called udo look like an overgrown white asparagus?

About 1 m in length, and like white asparagus has a thick fibrous coating.

Yeah you can imagine how it was sticking out of my groccery bag oddly.

shaved off the thick layer, blanched it quickly, chilled and tossed with fish sausage and umeboshi dressing. Had it as salad for dinner.

Dinner was a bit extravagant with that BIIIIIIG slice of fish i managed to get at the new supermarket at my place.

Like how the western world enjoys smoked salmon, this is how the Japanese love the tasty dried fish (no it doesnt smell like socks). when grilled, it is marvellous~~
