Default Leeks. The poor man's asparagus?

This is what I heard Jacques Pepin say. He said that asparagus was
expensive in France so the poor buy leeks and serve them as they would
asparagus. Granted my forays with leeks have been few but I do like them.
I can't stand asparagus and can't see the similarities.
