Last night, my mother cooked a fish dinner with rice, corn, and asparagus. I had never eaten asparagus before, but I decided to try a spear of it. It's actually not half bad. Tastes even better with lemon. So I had several spears with the rest of my dinner.

And yes, it's true: I had to go to the bathroom several times since last night's dinner and my pee smells like asparagus.

Thanks for sharing!

I would go beyond "not half bad" - once I tried it, I was hooked. I mean, I'll even eat the canned stuff once in a while. The best, though, is wild asparagus - my SIL has some growing near her house. M-m-good.

OTOH, I had my own "first-time" experience with food this past weekend. Limburger cheese. Everything they say is true. I tried outsmarting the system and exhaled as I took that first bite. Not bad, I thought.

I did not count on the smell lingering on my lips and my fingers. The word "stench" is pretty appropriate. It took soap, water, and a couple of beers to make everything right.

Never again. Ever.

Grilled asparagus has become a particular favorite of mine ever since I was introduced to it at a fancy restaurant (it accompanied the entree). I haven't tried it any other way, although I hear that steamed, with hollandaise sauce, is quite good.

Asparagus omelet

Omelet with bacon or ham, asparagus, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

From the Breakfast Club Tybee Island GA.

It's too late to spare me. I've been dead for 10 years...

Oh, wait. You were talking about a vegetable. Nevermind...

Yes, thank you for sharing.

I love the stuff - I do not put anything on it - not even salt.

It is not so good when it is cooked too long.

Roasted is great too.

Simply put in a baking dish with olive oil salt and pepper and cook until tender.

Yummmmmmmmmmm

I love asparagus, steamed, and then drizzles with olive oil and lemon juice and pepper.

Fresh grated Parmesan is a great addition. I bake mine in the oven with some bacon bits, olive oil, lemon juice and add the cheese just before serving.
