6/7/2011 7:10:49 PM

A certain someone on here complaigns about broccoli as well, and I think it is delicious

6/7/2011 7:49:46 PM

I occasionally like broccoli. It helps if it's got lots of butter and garlic, or cheese of course.


But I'll never like Cauliflower.

6/7/2011 7:52:11 PM

6/7/2011 7:52:29 PM

Broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, collards...a lot of the stereotypical "gross" veggies are some of my favorites haha.

Yep, and all they need is some salt and pepper...maybe some olive oil/garlic or butter if you wanna get crazy

6/7/2011 8:23:44 PM

Vinegar on cabbage and collards is great. But you're right, they really just need salt and pepper and they're good to go.

6/7/2011 8:29:36 PM

i ate a whole bag of the Steamfresh Broc the other night. With a little garlic, pepper, and cheese

om nom nom

Yep, I'm a fan of apple cider vinegar on mah greens...haven't tried it on cabbage tho

6/7/2011 8:35:10 PM

people with bad taste in vegetables ITT

6/7/2011 8:38:04 PM

Vinegar on cabbage? Is that common? I have never heard of that. Will have to try. Broccoli is my favorite thing ever.

6/7/2011 8:39:20 PM

I loved steamed broccoli with a little bit of butter and salt.

I like to steam my cauliflower and then throw it in my immersion blender and purée it to a mash with a bit of skim milk, olive oil, and salt. Tastes just like mashed potatoes.

6/7/2011 8:43:54 PM

^ive been wanting to try that! (mashed cauliflower)

6/7/2011 8:50:03 PM

yeah, I hate broccoli! So? And Peter filled my plate with it from the Chinese Amazing Buffet place in town. I ate 6 pieces of it though. The other 30 pieces are on my plate.

6/7/2011 8:59:54 PM

i like broccoli!! LOVE it really

when i was little i didn't like it unless it had cheese on it

for some reason when i was little i LOVED asparagus and spinach. i still love both, but those are also veggies that kids usually have an aversion to

6/7/2011 9:01:13 PM

eat your broccolis Maya.
No!
YOU ARE A STUPID KID AND I HATE YOU!
Daddy, whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

6/7/2011 9:02:27 PM

raw brocoli = yes

steamed = very rarely, but ok

6/7/2011 9:02:37 PM

yeah I don't know what the big deal is...I ate them as a kid and turned out fine...

now I'm gonna head to a fast food joint brb

6/7/2011 9:03:45 PM

raw carrots are my veggie of choice

which is ironic given the cokebottles I have to wear

6/7/2011 9:04:59 PM

broccoli + soy sauce = the win

Honestly, no idea how common it is. I just remember my mom and dad always did when I was growing up, so I did it by default. Just a little bit of apple cider vinegar on top of the cabbage...delicious.

6/7/2011 9:34:03 PM

vinegar on cabbage ftw, especially if it has a little spice in it. My Dad makes homemade pepper vinegar, awesome on collards

6/7/2011 9:35:48 PM

I miss raw veggies (and some fruits). Damn braces.

6/7/2011 9:40:03 PM

I hated brussel sprouts as a kid and my parents probably cooked them once every two weeks or so.. I would always put up a fight every single time. Try and hide them in my pockets or see if the dog would eat them (most of the time he wouldn't).

As an adult I can't get enough of them! So delicious (as long as they are reasonably fresh) with just alittle salt.

6/7/2011 9:46:23 PM

i can eat any veggie...

they all taste like butter and salt to me.

6/7/2011 9:48:08 PM

Who likes Metamucil and Prune Juice?


No one?


I expect an "Young Adults are stupid" thread when you're 80.

Kids have biologically different senses of taste than adults.

Broccoli and spinach at my favorite veggies.

How can you not like that shit.

Steamed broccoli with loads of butter FTW.

Steamed cauliflower is meh/ok.

Sauteed cauliflower (till the cut edges turn brown) drenched in the fat (olive oil, butter, etc) is fuckin awesome.

Sauteed broccoli is also good, nearly as good as steamed.


How much does it cost in the US typically? How about the organic one?


Tidbit: I ate broccoli for the first time at the age of 20 or so. Always wanted to try it, but being a New World veggie, didn't have access to it growing up and/or it was ridiculously expensive ($6-7/lb) since it was imported from the US. Now that it is grown in neighbouring countries, it is much cheaper, but still dearer than other veggies ($2/lb). Weirdly enough, the expensive one is still on the shelves. I wonder which idiots buy that one, when the cheaper one is available.

6/8/2011 5:37:09 AM

only time i will eat broccoli is in my sun-dried tomato broccoli pasta!

the only veggie i don't like is asparagus...though i'll eat if there's some inherently unhealthy-yet-delicious sauce on top

6/8/2011 7:55:40 AM

broccoli is delicious.

it's corn that's digusting.

Broccoli is fine by me, always has been. Probably my favorite preparations are sauteed, with sriracha and a little soy sauce, and broccoli casserole (chopped broccoli mixed with italian breadcrumbs, olive oil, and parmesan cheese, and baked until the top browns up)

Cabbage, asparagus, brussels sprouts, collards--all fine by me. There are few veggies I won't eat, really. I was a little picky about brussels sprouts and asparagus as a child, but that's because I was used to the crappy canned/frozen kinds and not the good fresh stuff. Both of those are still terrible in non-fresh form. But fresh asparagus roasted with olive oil and black pepper is one of my favorite veggies.

My girlfriend also makes a cabbage gratin that is completely fantastic. Though the presence of cheese and a bechamel sauce may have something to do with that.

6/8/2011 9:29:00 AM

I will eat cooked broccoli. Not that it needs a gallon of butter or cheese - I'm cool with just a quick steam in the microwave.

But raw it's and all the chumps who put it on their salad are

6/8/2011 9:34:32 AM
