I DON'T LIKE BROCCOLI! -- G. H. W. Bush

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

“Eat your vegetables!”
“Make me!”

DANG!

I guess that’s me. Can’t stand Brussels Sprouts

[Inyo-Mono]

I like broccoli, but hate the taste (and smell) of cooked cabbage.

[eclecticEel]

I must not have the gene, love broccoli.

Love broccoli and Brussel sprouts grilled. Olive oil and salt and charred til they are crispy. Yum!

“But Pa, I CAN’T eat this broccoli because I got sensitive taste genes.”

WHAP!

“They still feeling sensitive? Don’t make no difference what pants you’re wearing.”

[Veto!]

I like bitter veggies. I must have a compromised sense of taste.

Whatever. I’m amazing healthy and extraordinarily healthy.

I was the strangest kid of my day.I loved almost all vegetables...including broccoli. Still do.

But I hate Brussels spouts and Lima beans

[BradyLS]

I like broccoli. But not Brussel sprouts.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I like the way it comes out.

[yarddog]

It is OK with melted cheese but by itself, no way.

Brussels sprouts are edible but not great.

Love Broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Savoy cabbage is also great,
Savoy cabbage cold slaw:
One small head savoy cabbage, shredded, then finely chopped
One large jalapeno seeded, then finely minced
One bunch cilantro, minced
Two inch carrot piece, shredded, then minced (optional for color)
One cup sour cream
Combine everything together adjusting sour cream to consistency you want. Fabulous!

I identify as a “super taster”. lol

[BradyLS]

Is “super” the new “special?” :-D

I like cooked veggies of practically all types. Raw; not so much.

I heard something about how some people hear music and it moves them deeply but then some other people hear music and meh, so what, it’s okay. Makes for good background noise.

Broccoli is in my blood. I am half broccoli actually. Then the fast food companies came and stole my land, and I’ve had to live on simple things like double cheeseburgers and hot pockets. But one day I will be avenged and have a veggie pizza with a broccoli topping. Probably tomorrow.

I hope you don’t find this thread bitter.
