Ugh, so it's true...

General
I've never had asparagus before a few weeks ago. I don't even know if I've seen it in stores before I moved to this state.
I like trying new things for the most part. Guess I got tired of being told what and how to eat by so many people.
Them actually shunning me for wanting to eat new things. Even tomatoes and onions got me weird looks and comments by my family.
I don't like having the world being filtered and handed to me through certain avenues...
So long ago, I went out to try new things. Turns out that I actually like tomato and onion. At least sometimes.
But one things I avoided even if I did see it was asparagus. Why?
Heh... because of Austin Powers.

There was a scene (linked above) where he ate asparagus and the guard gave a weird smell. I wasn't sure what that meant at the time (I... might be a little... slow?). But I figured out that it probably makes your pee stink.
So again, even if I saw it in stores, I avoided it. Then I asked about it a few weeks ago and tried it.
Tastes just like spinach pretty much. Depends on how you season it really.
Forgetting that I had asparagus earlier that day, I went to the bathroom, left, and a bit later I kept smelling something strange.
Kinda bad, but not the worse thing ever. Though I wasn't sure where it was coming from. I couldn't pinpoint it.
Later still, I went to the bathroom again, then stayed for a bit to do something (I think wash my hair? I'm not sure).
And that's when I smelled it again. It was then that I figured it out: holy crap, it actually does make your pee stink!
Now, as a disclaimer if you've never known: all foods (and some drinks) have an effect on your pee (and poop and sweat somewhat). It's just that some foods, like asparagus, have a much more pronounced effect.
I started eating it mostly because of recent events and my wanting [again] to eat better and healthier. I heard asparagus is really good for you in some aspects, so I tried it. It's rather cheap, and is rather quick to prepare. Though I heard growing it takes forever...
But I might cut down on it a bit because of the effect on pee. I noticed a while ago that garlic and onions have a similar effect on your sweat. Why do all the good and / or healthy things have to come with an asterisk, heh heh.

I don't think I've ever had beets before.
At least in the case of beets.
Well, I may try it one day anyway just to see how it tastes.
