I don’t actually understand the question. Can I smell asparagus? Like when I cook it and it on my plate? Or can I smell asparagus-y pee? I can smell asparagus. I’m going to say no on the pee but it’s probably because I rarely eat it and if I do it’s a really small amount. I don’t care for it. When you pee can you smell it. Even a few spears and my DH claims he’s smelling it. I can smell it if it is even just a minor add on to a dish.

I hate asparagus, so I don't know if I can smell it in my pee since I wont eat it. But I've always heard about the asparagus pee smell and so thought it was a universal thing. Learn something new everyday.
TMI, there is a certain type of cereal that if I eat my pee has a slight coffee-like smell. I have never asked others if they also experience that. Not sure I want to.

You can't not say the cereal! I wanna know! If it's one I can get, I'll totally try it out! Years and years ago, Jamba Juice had a smoothie called a KaVa Colada. It had kava kava in it. Turned my pee bright lime yellow. A friend and I were having them daily. One day I asked him if his pee was highlighter yellow and he said yes. We still laugh about that 25 years later. LOL

CLue less but I love asparagus. I had some the other day but never noticed if I peed it. Never sniffed either. Might have some tomorrow. Will let you know. Oh trust me, you would notice if you had peed it. It's truly disgusting.

I avoid asparagus (even though I like it) because I can't stand the smell of the after-pee.

This question made me laugh so hard! I had no idea it was genetic. Everybody I know smells the asparagus when they pee. So it must be a pretty popular gene.

Does your pee also smell like coffee after you drink coffee? Because mine does...a lot.

I love fresh asparagus and eat it quite a lot when it's in season. I can't smell anything in my pee, so I don't know if I don't make the smelly pee, or if I do, but I can't smell it, or if it's both.

I can eat the tiniest bit of asparagus (which I love) and completely forget that I have until my stanky pee hits my nostrils.
This thread reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from 30Rock: "Donaghy Estates tastes like the urine of Satan after a hefty portion of asparagus."

Same as pancakes here! As a kid and through college, I didn't used to smell it, so I figured it just didn't affect my digestion the same way. I remember people talking about smelly asparagus pee, but I couldn't relate. But then later in my 20's I could smell it right away. As FIL used to say, "It doesn't take very much asparagus, and it doesn't take very much time" to make stinky pee.

I eat asparagus everyday. Literally every morning I do a veggie scramble with my eggs and it always includes asparagus.
It affects the very next time I pee. I can smell it then, but not after that.
