A couple times a month my grandmother feeds me chicken she gets already
cooked at the local grocery store. It makes my urine smell like I've
been eating asparagus. Any idea why?

Hi Hamish,

I don't recall seeing you here before, so Welcome!

Only thing that springs immediately to mind is that the chicken(s) in
question may have been fed asparagus before slaughtering - but somehow
I doubt it because:

a) I keep a few chickens and they don't seem to like it
c) It might work out a tad expensive - well it would here in South
Africa - because asparagus ain't cheep. ;-)

Hopefully you'll some more useful responses from others here <g>

One possible, the chickens are rice grain fed like was common in Hawaii when
I lived there (1986-1989). Although there is nothing 'wrong' with such
chicken, it smells terrible if you were not raised to expect that 'aroma'.
