Why Asparagus Makes Your Urine Smell

Well, a case of Tabasco would only be 6”x4”x6”, the smallest bottles are tiny.

OK

But, a case of Tabasco a month?

That’s a lot.

I was just looking for some confirmation of an article I had read years ago.

Had fun just reading through this thread. :)

I love good, fresh asparagus, which to me means the more tender thin stalks. Yes, I can tell I’ve eaten it later lol.

As far as cilantro, I’d never had it until I was in my late teens. I found it absolutely disgusting; it tasted to me like how stink bugs smell (yes I confess I smelled some as a child to confirm they were stink lol). Oddly, within a couple of years, absolute disgust turned to absolute love of cilantro. People who remember my previous comments said, “So now you like the taste of stink bugs?” Ha ha.

I think our tastes change, but yes cilantro is one of the big love/hate ones for sure.

I don’t hate cilantro, but since it tastes like soap to me I don’t see the point to adding it to dishes. Luckily, apparently my wife doesn’t smell the asparagus pee smell either, which is good because we’ve had asparagus in our garden for something like 20 years.

Sounds like the perfect compromise! :)
