    I’ve had properly sauteed and spiced asparagus and it still tastes awful to me. I’m just very sensitive to the bitter compounds in it.

      Cut off the heads off the asparagus. That’s where it’s most bitter and it messes with the rest of the dish. My wife does this as well.

        I have used that trick when served asparagus, it definitely helps. But I would still prefer green beans, or broccoli instead.

          don’t cook it, just slice the stalks very finely. delicious. i like the heads mashed in with mashed potato but that’s more effort than it’s worth really. any way you eat it, your piss will stink to high heaven

            Oh I’ve tried raw, way too bitter for me to enjoy.
