Wiki has the answer:However, in the 1980s three studies from France, China and Israel published results showing that producing odorous urine from asparagus was a universal human characteristic. The Israeli study found that from their 307 subjects all of those who could smell 'asparagus urine' could detect it in the urine of anyone who had eaten asparagus, even if the person who produced it could not detect it himself.[25] Thus, it is now believed that most people produce the odorous compounds after eating asparagus, but only about 22% of the population have the autosomal genes required to smell them.
No need to use oil when griddling. Hot pan and turn it regularly until you get nice blackened stripes. Serve with Mayo. Bloody lovely, but your wee does whiff afterwards.
Had never thought it would, but it does. The effect of beetroot was also something I wasn't sure could be true until I ate a bag of beetroot crisps and went for a pee a few hours later. Shat myself until I remembered what I'd eaten.

Imagine my surprise at the sensory overload I encountered when I used the toilet after a dinner that included roast beetroot and asparagus. It was an experience, I'll tell you.Had never thought it would, but it does.

Peel lower parts, thinly butter some baking paper, pile asparagus on it, some coarse sea salt on top before closing the pack add glugg of the wine you'll be serving it with (as long as its pink or white), then wrap paper parcel in aluminium foil and bake in hot oven

Decided to try something other than steaming some Asparagus last night....
Roasted the Asp. with a little Extra Virgin olive oil and sea salt with some roughly cut mushrooms.
When tender threw them (+mushrooms) into some cooked pasta, added 1/2 teaspoon of pesto and a knob of butter, stirred it all together and served......

Snap the tips of the asparagus and slice the stalks. Get the best smoked streaky bacon you can find, slice it into thin strips, fry it in a little olive oil and leave it to cool in the pan.
Put some pappardelle pasta on to cook, heating another pan with just water.
Stir creme fraiche into bacon, making sure the cooking juices mix in. Add grated parmesan to taste and slowy heat, stirring the parmesan in. Save some parmesan for later.
Make sure the water only pan is just coming to the boil with 1 min left on the pasta, and put all the asparagus in. Only needs 1 min to just warm through.
Mix everything together except the remaining parmesan and asparagus tips, these go on top once plated up. Sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, and tuck in. Lightly toasted ciabatta goes very well with it.
This is a recipe from a chap associated with a supermarket where you can apparently taste the difference
, but it no longer seems to be listed anywhere.
