"Properly cooked broccoli with a light dusting of..."
Try this sometime. Cook your broccoli anyway you choose. Then cook a juicy steak. Place the steak over the broccoli for few minutes. Remove the broccoli and discard. Eat the steak.
It's called "Steak over Broccoli".
Pure enjoyment.

Broccoli rules. Broccolini too. Supersize it and keep it coming. Next I want to see that rutabaga cures the common cold.There is nothing like fresh broccoli, right from the garden, microwaved in covered Corning Ware with butter and S&P, cooked while it is still alive.
Except for the year we cooked a huge 6-quart thing of it, and everyone greedily gobbled it up.
All over the bottom, well-cooked, when the broccoli was gone, were little green caterpillars. They were DELIBERATELY the same color as the broccoli.
I don't like thinking about that part.
So much for the Natural Organic BS. Bring on the Sevin!

Yep, the caterpillars love their broccoli too. Totally concur with you on the folly of organic gardening. First we kill the bugs. But anything taken directly from the garden and into the pot is a divine experience. Man, young potatoes, baby crookneck squash, little limas, new carrots or peas -- nothing you can ever buy will taste like that.

Air prolongs life too. Try going without it for more than five or ten minutes. It's a miracle drug...

The caterpillars probably gave it extra flavor.

YUCK! Reminds me of when I washed swiss chard to death and then after cooking discovered a large yellow worm in there.
My 1-year-old likes broccoli the best. He hasn't been tainted by his peers yet, I guess, about not liking vegetables.
I boil a little water in the bottom of a small pot, put the fresh broccoli in, wait a minute or so, drain the water off and let it sit there with the lid on. Seems to make it nice and tender but still firm enough for kids to dip and what not.

Hmm... broccoli, or cancer...
I can't say which I'd rather have. At least cancer wouldn't leave that dirt-like taste in my mouth for hours afterward.

"I do not like broccoli and I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. I'm the president of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli." This is an advantage to being elected POTUS that I had not considered.
Of course, his mother was no longer around when he said it.

I have scientific proof that brocolli causes Prostate Cancer. I ate that weed once and had prostate cancer.
Proof!
The cancer is in remission and I have not eaten brocolli since.
More Proof!

Broccolini is a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale. It tastes a lot like broccoli, but is more tender and looks better on your plate.
