Back in GHWB's day...broccoli was cooked to death. Then we went through a stage where it was too raw.

Properly cooked broccoli with a light dusting of (real) parmesan and a touch of lemon is magnificent!

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.

Oh, the 80's. After eating raw broccoli for all that time, I was annoyed to find out that not only was it harder to digest raw, but raw and/or without a little added fat, it was very difficult for our bodies to extract all the nutrients, especially the betacarotene. Thus ending a long 'disagreement' between my sister and I, and 'allowing' me to go back to steaming it and adding a little butter or cheese, or popping it in a salad with dressing.

Yum. I love broccoli.
