You flew to a premium destination while I flew to the slum of Singapore in a classic reward - punishment right there

Ah the good old (1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxylic acid) leads to lovely sulphur metabolites such cough as methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl sulfoxide. Lovely chemistry in action!

Remember some people have "asparagus anosmia," a genetic inability to detect the odor, while others may not produce the compound at all.

Edit remove extra sulphur.

I think you mean Jakarta for you. I just flew right over it

Much better with “real” asparagus, the white one. Which I sadly haven’t eaten it in years so I can’t wait to hit Germany in a few weeks, right in the middle of aspargus season.

I intend to chomp half a kilo of white asparagus daily, just to prepare me for the Australian asparagus desert again. That green stuff might be alright-ish in a Thai curry but otherwise it’s a meh from me.

do you eat the white one raw or cooked?

They grow white asparagus in Tassie now - we had some there last year, cooked of course.

They do? Gotta check that out. Some places in NZ have had it for a while now too- probably needs the cooler climate I am guessing?

And yes, cooked of course! With just some butter and fried ham on the side or of course Sauce Hollandaise for the indulgent version.

Landline even did a segment on it recently : White Magic: The Tasmanian farmers growing white asparagus

I have the smelly asparagus issue but cannot say I have encountered that metabolite, sounds painful

Lol.

Why! Too much Sulphur for you?
