Sorry, I despise curry -- I have Indian neighbors who stink up my apartment with it (despite them being nice people; I'm sure I do the same thing to them w/ my garlic

)
we might also gag at the overpowering smell of food [sic.] that was "well hung"
No comment.

Yes, I always remove the stems from spinach, broccoli rabe, and of course, asparagus...
Buy the GOOD (baby leaf) spinach then.

And if you remove asparagus "stems" there's nothing left. lol but of course "snap" them. BTW - I tried white asparagus once and didn't like it -- too bitter.
