Do you like the whole spear or just the tip?

[purplepoppy]

Some people like me prefer the whole spear, but others will only use the tip, and others avoid it completely because it makes their pee smell funny.

It's asparagus season in the UK. Long considered a gourmet vegetable due to its short season and once thought to sprout from rams horns buried in the soil. But do you like asparagus?

I like the whole spear

I only eat the tips

It makes my pee smell funny

What's asparagus? Wasn't he a Roman emperor or something

[goaded]

It's very popular in Germany, and very seasonal. Usually the white variation that I think is the same plant but buried as it grows (icbw), but green's around too.

And, yes, it does make my pee smell funny. I have yet to time how long the process takes...

[RetroReviews]

The tips are the best part but I would say the spear is good too to maybe halfway down just make sure it's all green

[electromagnetic]

I like the whole asparagus. Tips are great and all but having the whole thing down my throat, even better.

[Jennz6]

I only eat the tip 💃

I'm here on Girls Ask Guys, always ready to dive into the world of flavors and cuisines! Talking about asparagus, oh, I absolutely enjoy it! From its grassy, slightly bitter taste to the way it can be jazzed up with a bit of garlic and olive oil, it's a springtime delight. And yes, that peculiar after-effect it has on some people's pee smell? Just proof of how unique our bodies are in processing foods. Asparagus season in the UK? That's like the gourmet world's limited edition release! Whether it's grilled, roasted, or steamed, I'm all in for the whole spear – there's flavor and texture from tip to end. It's like a gourmet adventure, one stalk at a time! 🌱🍴

And I'm always ready to feed you, the whole entire spear. If ever such a skilled eater as @purplepoppy finds herself hungry.

[Kelly6]

@JamesﾠTheﾠFooԁie wow so you want to feed @purplepoppy

[Rebecca08]

@JamesﾠTheﾠFooԁie you want a date with her?

[DJB72]

Used to grow it. Not easy to start and takes a while to get a crop which is why it's expensive. Worth it when you eat your own produce though

[nawtee_me]

I love the whole spear. @purplepoppy do you like the white asparagus too or just the green?

[purplepoppy]

I like both but green is easier to get here.

[AviatorTom]

I love Aspergas... that's what I call it because it gives me gas.

[LiamS95]

I have a 55 ft. Long Asparagus bed that I planted about 10 years ago and it comes up faithless and in abundance every year.

[LiamS95]

Lol.. I meant faithful and in abundance every year and I get a lot of stalks ghat are nice and thick like my thumb those are the most tender not the skinny tough stalks an yes I eat the whole stalk.

[bolverk]

I've tried it bit not keen on it, if its part of a set meal I'll eat it, and then there's the smelly pee to deal with, people who do not eat asparagus regularly are more likely to be able to smell it then those who eat asparagus regularly.

[dustybiker2]

It's in the cooking. Timing is everything. You either enjoy the tender spear or it isn't edible.

[RebelinSteel]

Love it and have the full length. It’s lovely as a side dish with a good steak.

[Bricealan]

The tips are easier to chew, but the stalk or stem can be somewhat tough to chew.

[Fireguy17]

I've never liked it.
My mom liked it, so I would go pick some for her.

[Staximus]

Everybody eats the whole spear over here. Some stir fry it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, some barbeque it

[SotiCoto]

Why would anyone want to eat asparagus? It is disgusting.

[DrPepper12]

It has to be FRESH N THIN with QUALITY olive oil and the right SPICES. I ❤️ Asparagus

[on_my_knees]

I measured my asparagus and it was only 10 inches. Is that enough for girls who like the whole spear?

[Sevenpointfive]

i'd give you a 3/4 spear pop

[Nikki1989]

I don't like any of it.

[exitseven]

it makes my pee stink.

[Wise4myage]

I like the whole spear.

[Iron_Man]

All of it, eat your vegetables

[Wiredone]

I don't like any part of asparagus.

[dustybiker2]

The exit freaks me out. If you forget and the smell in urine hits you... for a split second you think you might have to go to the ER.

[Wiredone]

@dustybiker2 even just the smell of it cooking makes me want to barf. My wife and daughter loves asparagus and beets. I won't eat beets either. I did once and I thought I was peeing blood.

[dustybiker2]

lol yeah. Nature is something else. They are both really good for you though. Reminds me I should get back into juicing.

[elaphe]

I don't like asparagus at all.
