    It takes several years, many seasons, much sun and rain for such a magnificent vegetable to grow to maturity and be ripe for the harvest.

    Unfortunately it tastes like ass, has the texture of twine and makes your piss stink.

    Vile weed.

      I just need to know if you’ve given properly sautéed asparagus in olive oil and garlic a chance. If you’re basing this on mom’s boiled mush you need to give it a second chance.

      Also I personally find it funny when I get to piss stinky piss. Like farts for my dick!

        I tried many ways, my most successful was asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and a light dusting of Parmesan cheese. Put it in the broiler until the cheese gets a tan. Finish with a tiny sprinkle of really fancy balsamic vinegar.

        While it was an improvement, the texture was still not something I ever found acceptable.

        Also, if you’re using asparagus for smelly dick jokes, I am willing to withdraw my judgement.

          Sweet recipe, I believe I’ve had it that way too. You have indeed stress tested asparagus.
