Broccoli and E-coli share too many of the same letters and traits for me to consider it food.

Post by: ROX on February 28, 2008, 10:01:56 AM: Most people LOVE broccoli in Chinese food. It's almost like...."there's BROCCOLI in there??"

Most people dont like Brussel Sprouts because they are usually served steamed (YUCK). Serve them in a shallow bowl with Basil/Garlic/Lemon Butter Sauce...or better yet a garlic & shallots white sauce with freshly ground white pepper.

While serving veggies raw is the healthiest--most folks just steam them...and just steamed is boring and tasteless, and does no one any health benifits if no one eats them.

Sometimes an tasty homeade sauce can be just the right trick!

I beg to differ...

As stated earlier in the thread, a quote from Seinfeld's Newman:

"VILE WEED!"

if broccoli even touches other food it rubs off that horrible bitter taste. it taints everything it touches.
Title: broccoli
Post by: Skuzzy on February 28, 2008, 10:34:34 AM: There is not enough sauce on the planet to make broccoli, brussel balls, or any veggie with more than 7 letters in its name, taste good.

Strike that. 'Good' is reaching,...how about 'edible' instead. Yuck!

Chinese/Japanese/Taiwanese or any Asian food triggers my gag reflex.

ROX is right the only way to make Brocoli and bruxelle abomination comestible is to make them"sauté" with butter, garlic and some Parsley

Thank GAWD the Japanese eat fish raw, the thought of eating raw chicken makes me wanna puke.

When I eat broccoli and brussel sprouts I always imagine that I'm a ferocious dinosaur devoring trees and bushes...I also make my mashed taters with gravey into a volcano... but that's just me.

The wife makes me eat alone, away from the children.

I weigh what I did when I graduated high school.

I blame all the veggie eaters for the stress they cause others when they complain about not eating veggies for my higher insurance rates. :)

I remember reading somewhere that if you have too many of a specific type of taste bud (something to do with bitterness) you'll hate brocolli, brussel sprouts, coffee, even beer. I don't like all of those, well except beer which I can drink but I don't enjoy the flavour.

I do like Shiner Bok as well. It has a nice flavor. Good with BBQ.

Roy if you get the chance roll on down to Shiner and visit the brewery. My wife and I were there about 10 years ago and took a tour of the brewery. When we got to the "bar" they rolled out and tapped a brand new keg of Bock for my wife and I, and we were the only ones there. Needless to say fresh Bock from the keg is like...well...chicken fried steak in a glass.
