What amazes me about the asparagus pee smell is how quickly I can smell it after eating. I'm talking like 20 minutes later. Whatever it is, it moves quickly through my system.

When I was about 10, my mom and I would go asparagus picking in my dad's old 40's hunting jeep. She would put it in low range and idle along the fence row while I cut the asparagus. That part was fun. What wasn't fun was when she insisted on cooking the plants in one of those old pressure cookers with the little weight on top. When it was done it smelled like hell and had the consistancy of green sheetrock spackle...which was a much better usage for it than eating that nasty slop. Because of that, I've probably only had 10 bites of asparagus since the 60's. Uck...but enjoy the scent!

The consistency of cooked asparagus shouldn't be as you describe. When done correctly IMO, it should be more like al dente pasta. It should bite back as they say. I never even tried it until I got married. Luckily my wife knows to make it this way. It is pretty good.
i love asparagus.

I wonder if that would work with asparagus ice cream.
@pepperjones don't like ice cream? I didn't know that was possible.
@pepperjones I was going to say I'm much too cheesy for you're preferences, so if we were at the fair and I wanted to shoot that clown in the mouth to bust that balloon thing, you could hold my ice cream and there would still be some left when the clowns balloon popped?
@pepperjones are you kidding? my whole image of the ideal girlfriend has just shifted. now I have to think about finding a woman that my ice cream is safe with....troubled....?
@pepperjones i doubt you'll need such a "selling point" to attract suitors.
@pepperjones ?
Asparagusic acid.
There has been a lot of scientific debate on if this is actually true.
Of course, the whole asparagus-urine scent issue is complicated by an entire separate issue: Some people simply don’t smell anything different when urinate after they eat asparagus. Scientists have long been divided into two camps in explaining this issue. Some believe that, for physiological reasons, these people (which constitute anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of the population) don’t produce the aroma in their urine when they digest asparagus, while others think that they produce the exact same scent, but somehow lack the ability to smell it.

Yep. I had some on the grill with olive oil once. I wanted to run out of the bathroom! Brussle sprouts do the same.
