Ok... i love asparagus. steamed, roasted, (not raw though) bring it on. with or with out hollandais (sp?) sauce it's yummy!

But i've got one problem with it, and i'm sorta embarassed to ask people i know face to face...
and i want to know if it's just me, or if i need to get looked at or stop eating asparagus...
my urine smells strong after eating it. and no... i'm not putting my nose to the toilet, i can smell it while standing... that's a good 3 or 4, maybe 4.5 feet away from the water in the bowl... anyone else??

this is a very common thing, like corn and what happens when you eat a lot of it

you know... i've been embarassed about this for years now... i guess i shoulda checked the internet before.
i especially like this sentence, makes me happy!

This smell is actually considered to be good news, since it proves that the asparagus eater's kidneys are functioning as they should.

Yep.
And I'm not giving up asparagus. It's hands down my favorite vegetable - esp. lightly grilled w/ a little olive oil, cracked pepper and coarse grey sea salt - then wrap in prosciutto and bake 'til it's warmed through - Awesome

Doh,
Now I knew it wouldn't re post your quote with the sentence but I tried anyway. Oh well. That sentence makes me happy too with all the beer I drink, the thought has crossed my mind that I might be damaging the poor things.
Hey, I home brew what can I say.
I enjoy the heck out of asparagus, I also enjoy Artichokes. I have entertained the idea of growing my own asparagus since it is so hard to find before it has gone to seed.

Try 6 or 8 or even 10 ft away. Go for distance. Make us proud.
