This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the ham was a bit too salty. I would probably make this dish again, but I would make some adjustments to the recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The ham and asparagus were good, but the sauce was a bit bland. I would probably add more spices next time.

This dish was okay. The ham and asparagus were cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would probably make this dish again, but I would adjust the amount of salt in the sauce.
