Asparagus - the King of Vegetables?

I'm sure I've heard asparagus referred to as the King Of Vegetables but I couldn't find any specific info on this when I uploaded this shot.

 

But I did find out that the world's oldest known recipe book, dating from the 3rd century, contains an Asparagus recipe, it's high in folic acid, is a diuretic, and that the USA is the biggest producer and consumer of the stuff.

 

Oh, and it tastes jolly nice!
