Hey chupa-chups, this thing about nudity is of course a generalization.

However, I'm told all Germans absolutely adore asparagus, are passionate about them, and it is always an appropriate topic of conversation, whether discussing their many variants or how to cook them.

Can you confirm this?



view as:

From personal experience I can confirm a corporate event for a famous bank consisted on a field trip for asparagus-gathering, and that once the season starts, they pop everywhere in the schnitzel sauces of daily menus every week :)

Yes

You did not have a passionate asparagus discussion if you didn't touch the urine smell issue.

Please elaborate!

If you eat asparagus, your pee smells like asparagus (kinda).

It's pretty fun actually


As the other commenter wrote.

Pee stinks BUT there is a catch: only a certain amount of people have smelly pee and some people produce smelly pee but don't smell it.

It's genetic. Some enzyme turns something in the asparagus in sulphur. It's pretty bad. I have it and my SO too.

So a high end asparagus discussion contains the "are you a stinker" team finding competition ;)
