If you boil asparagus, you can clearly see that it's some kind of slimy alien fungus. I think it originated on Mars and came here on a meteorite.

Mars would be a very good place for asparagus. Anywhere really just so long as it is out of range of my sight and smell.

As long as Mars has the facilities to melt butter, I am willing to travel.

Hey, maybe if we created a large enough crop, we could use it for bio-fuel or something? Of course the import costs would be rather prohibitive.
