Great timing, hell was running low on broccoli due to routinely forcefeeding them to everyone. (For the record I don't mind broccoli, in fact one of my go-to meals is mashing it into mash potato until the whole thing turns bright green and then you have it with sausages and gravy, now that's a meal.)
I like broccoli. And brussels sprouts.
The reason it is such a recurring theme is that broccoli and sprouts were cultivated to taste good over time. In the recent past, they had a more bitter taste which lead to some generations disliking them.
Also that in the recent past, people didn’t know how to cook.
I grew up with my parents serving me bland and mushy broccoli, and I hated it.
Now I cook broccoli oven roasted, or pan-cooked and slightly blackened, tossed in olive oil, seasoned well with salt and pepper. Maybe soy and garlic instead if I’m feeling it. Always al-dente and absolutely fucking delicious.
If I cooked broccoli the way my parents used to, it would still taste like shit - genetically sweeter or not.
There is nothing worse to the eyes than that sickly yellow-green color of massively overcooked broccoli.
With garlic, olive oil and good seasoning you could make anything taste good.
I just microwave it and love it lol
Broccoli is an excellent vehicle for mayonaise.
Your comment inspired me. Enjoy some authentic human-made, lazy MS Paint art.
