re: Do You Have The Asparagus or Cilantro "Gene"?

This also begs the question, do urologists smell every urine sample that they come across? Do they use their other senses to do quick exploratory tests?

My asparagus pee smells awesome and cilantro tastes like piss

Just a couple of weeks ago my wife told me that pico de gallo tasted like soap to her because of the cilantro and I thought “this woman makes up the weirdest shite.” I had no idea this was a thing.

I always wondered if people who couldn't smell asparagus pee also were unable to smell farts.

I guess I'm the weird one here, because I don't smell anything different when taking a piss after eating asparagus.

I also love cilantro.

Cilantro is nasty. I ain't trying to smell anyone's pee including my own.

I love cilantro and don’t have the gene to taste the soap flavor, thank god.

My pee does smell after eating asparagus but only for one good pee. I don’t notice it for an entire day. I could eat asparagus raw all day. Love it.

I've never noticed either of these things or heard about them from anyone in real life, just on the internet.

When my tastes are off because of allergies or the covid, Cilantro might taste hotter to me without other flavor, but I've never noticed soapiness.

And I've never paid enough attention to my piss to notice if asparagus does anything to it.

I love asparagus and cilantro. I also like pickles fyi.

I have been known to drink all the pickle juice, then have family members complain of dry pickles in the jar.

Same. Cilantro is awesome.
