To not care that my wee will smell funny

Because I have just eaten my first English asparagus of the year and it was delicious.

Can't wait for the strawberry season to start, and then raspberries. Mmmmmm.

I love asparagus, and perversely, the smell of asparagus wee makes me oddly happy that nature can pull amusing stunts on human beings

Yep - this sums up my feelings on asparagus too.

Doesn’t urine smell anyways 🤷‍♀️

We had three randomly early spears from the garden a fortnight ago and they were delicious - can't wait to get picking in earnest!

Unfortunately my problem is with Fish ...not good !

There was allegedly a sign in a London club which said:

"Would gentlemen please refrain from urinating in the umbrella stand during the asparagus season".

Surely it only matters if you can smell your own? I don't know about you, but I'm not usually in the habit of going round smelling other people's.

I'm more fascinated by the inability of some people to smell cyanide

Up until the 1950s, most US medical examiners tested for poison by smelling the stomach contents ...

Fascinating. I like it. I also like your username. And your paintings.

Isn't cyanide an ingredient in bitter almonds? Not the sweet ones they SHOULD make marzipan from!

I LOVE asparagus Grin hooray the season is starting Grin a bit early though ! I only really like the green ones , here in France they seem to prefer those tasteless white ones, though they are learning that the Brits have the best! can smell them but only at the beginning of the season. I suppose one's body gets used to them.

I love asparagus and it makes my wee smell!

youarenotkiddingme · 17/04/2019 21:27

What I've been taking the aldi dissolvable every tabkets (which are basically multivitamins - tropical flavour).
I literally thought I had radioactive wee the first time Grin

BuzzPeakWankBobbly · 17/04/2019 21:35

I get broccoli wee Grin

CasperGutman · 17/04/2019 21:50

My wee generally smells of piss. I don't go sniffing it, asparagus season or not. This just isn't a problem to me.

BishopBrennansArse · 17/04/2019 21:52

YANBU.
Asparagus is lush.

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 17/04/2019 21:53

I love asparagus and am delighted by asparagus wee as it is just so weird!

Oddly, when last pregnant I used to get fish wee too 😬

TroysMammy · 17/04/2019 22:00

I also get asparagus wee after an asparagus cup a soup. Who would have thought there was asparagus in it. Or perhaps there isn't and the flavouring give you asparagus wee Confused

brizzlemint · 17/04/2019 22:22

I had that radioactive problem after those vitamins too, now I use a different sort.
