I make it without the raisins and with extra bacon and cheese.

Yum! My favorite veggie! I have been a tree eater since I was a little girl and all my friends thought it was gross! Always take it in my lunch raw and have flossers because of the inevitable mess in my teeth!

 

[Summer Haze]

This sounds fun enough to give it a shot again. Are you supposed to eat the treetop part too?

That's the most common part to be eaten, yes. You can eat the entire thing, though.

Ha, thanks. What a crazy silly food. Wish I liked it, the wife always looks so happy when she eats it.

 

[BroggieDoge]

I hate broccoli. I force myself to eat it.

 

[ldcommando]

yes, broccoli owns.

 

[Lavalamp1138]

Broccoli is love. Broccoli is life.

I hate broccoli. I force myself to eat it.

I hate you! I force myself to not throw broccoli at your face!

 

[davepoobond]

said it in the other thread, but raw or chilled steamed broccoli is the only way i really prefer eating it.

i suppose if you threw it into something and i didnt know it was there, i'd be fine with it!

 

[Parch]

Never met a broccoli I didn't like.

His albino brother is a dick though.

 

[Summer Haze]

Chicken and Broccoli bake. Hnnnngh.

That's the easier part to eat

 

[lethial]

Vile weed!

 

[cartoon_soldier]

disgusting, disgusting vegetable. Ruins everything and anything it is in. The smell, the taste, the texture. It's all wrong.

Wish I liked it would make my life a lot easier

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Broccoli is tops

 

[Aim_Ed]

I've always loved broccoli, I feel people who hate it just hate life.

 

[Summer Haze]

 

[wienke]

I love it in Chinese food.

Broccoli is the second best vegetable.

In terms of cooking and flavor the winner is the onion. Let's see broccoli do this:

I've always tried to eat the trunk part. Maybe I like the treetop part? I will try it again thanks to this thread. How dope would it be if I ended up a broccoli eater?!

 

[psylah]

What does Romanesco Broccoli taste like?

 

[Azulsky]

Broccoli and Broccolini is the shit

 

[terrisus]

What does Romanesco Broccoli taste like?

It tastes like fractals.

 

[M_Night]

Long stem broccoli is far superior to the standard variety, in taste and look.

 

[Lavalamp1138]

What does Romanesco Broccoli taste like?

What planet is that from?

 

[Masquerader]

I plan to add my statement to the Wikipedia article some day. In any case, this is a majestic thread, one truly worthy of the Broccoli God, Terrisus.

Did You Know...

Broccoli was founded during the Roman Empire, being native to the Mediterranean and Asia Minor regions. Broccoli did not make it's glorious way to the UK and America until the 1700s, which probably explains why life was so shit for poor people up until that general time.

 

[RumblingRosco]

I eat about a cup or two of plain steamed broccoli on a daily basis. So fucking good. No seasoning or sauces needed.

 

[encephalon]

I prefer "broccolini."

 

[Buddha Beam]

Broccoli is a staple in my garden every year, along with tomatoes. whats great about it is when it starts blossoming, you can harvest it for a good 6 weeks... at least in my part of the country.

Here's a recipe from my old cooking blog:

http://beachcitycooking.blogspot.com/2009/09/mike-ds-polenta-with-broccoli-rabe-and.html

Mike D's Polenta with Broccoli Rabe and Italian Sausage. May not look like much but it's a nice rustic Italian meal and pretty easy to throw together.

 

[terrisus]

I wonder what it looked like before it was chewed up and spit back out into that bowl.

Love the broc. I eat at least a hesd a day; usually raw.

 

[Kaako]

Used to hate broccoli when I was much younger. Now I like it but I prefer it raw. Don't like the taste/texture when it's overcooked and all mushy.

 

[bud]

Broccoli farts and broccoli piss means no.

it's nowhere near as bad as asparagus piss.

asparagus piss is the worst.

 

[vatstep]

Broccoli is one of the greatest foods. I could eat barrels of it.

It shouldn't be mushy ever. Try tossing it with some EVOO, sea salt and crushed pepper, roasting it at 375 for 15-20 mins for a nice light char on it.

Haha, that's one of my favorite C&Hs!

 

[rpmurphy]

I boil my broccoli, stirfry the stems.

[Llyranor]
