I too choose this guy’s mom.
There are just a ton of foods that input in my mouth that immediately make me feel like I’m going to vomit. I really hate it.
Did you get sick a lot as a kid? Like long term, not just related to food?
I don’t think so, no. Why?
I think they’re asking because you can develop taste aversion by eating something and getting sick (even if the sickness is completely unrelated).
My sister got H1N1 when it was proliferating, and she had a box of nilla wafers before the symptoms started hitting hard. Now she inexplicably can’t eat a single nilla wafer.
Ohhh. No, I think it’s because my parents didn’t make me try many foods when I was young and then once they began it was the big ordeal of never letting me leave the table until I tried some. Many times I would wait them out because things just disgusted me that much.
I’d still describe myself as a pretty “picky eater” and I loathe trying anything new in public, but I’ve gotten a lot better and I have pickier friends too now. (It helps not being the most picky lol.)
Same for meatloaf
You wanted to fuck your friend’s meatloaf?
You can absolutely fuck meatloaf
well that escalated quickly
You never wanted to fuck your friend’s mom?
I mean… yeah. But after you hit thirty and you can have all the milfs you want. It’s free moms.
Btw, Broccoli is a superfood.
Superfood is a meaningless marketing term. You can call literally anything a superfood and it would be correct.
Bacon is a superfood
Raw potatoes are a superfood
Vodka is a superfood
To be fair bacon, potatoes and vodka are all top-tier.
Well, german but Broccoli and cauliflower with breadcrumbs and butter. Grandma always made this, which is why i liked it as a kid.
If you are a super taster, broccoli taste like grass smells. At least for me and my daughter. Its so bitter that I threw up one time when I was a kid being forced to eat it. So lets accept that to someone with a lesser/different sense of taste/smell its okay. To those of us who can smell when someone has been in their house five hours after they left it taste completely different. So no thanks I don’t want to eat grass.
How do you find out if you are a supertaster? I’m curious because growing up I couldn’t stomach any vegetable that was bitter. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, celery, etc. were enough to make me gag just from the flavor. Nowadays, I can cope with the bitterness by focusing on other flavors and textures but I’ve definitely been in positions where I have a single bite of celery and then can’t muster up the courage to eat for a solid hour.
Fellow super taster though it’s more like a curse. It also extends to wine, beer, coffee, onions, and numerous other things because my sense of bitter is too strong.
Do you think that your special taste buds not liking broccoli are so widespread that they’ve made not liking broccoli a common cartoon trope?
My theory on this is that some of the hate for a lot of vegetables comes from either eating canned ones or poorly cooked ones. My girlfriend didn’t know she liked green beans until she started living with my family and my father made her some. My dad sautéed the in butter with garlic, and she only had ever had those extremely mushy canned ones and had concluded on that basis she hated green beans.
Broccoli tossed in olive oil, cooked in an air fryer until crispy and then sprinkled with course salt. Delicious 👌🏼
I thought broccoli only got softer when cooked. Does this work if you don’t have an air fryer and you fry it in a pan?
No I’m wondering what would it would taste like to marinade broccoli in butter and garlic then took them out and put them in a dehydrator to make them into chips
Air fryers are just convection ovens. Its baking it.
Air fryers are closer to impingement ovens than convection (fan-forced) ovens.
Interesting, I had never heard of an impingement oven!
They are actually different, but it’s based on locations and how/when they circulate air.
This may be an interesting read… Or not, fuck all do I know about what you enjoy haha
That page is giving me a 403 message
Just cut into bite size pieces, toss it in oil, salt and pepper it, put it on a baking sheet and roast at 425 for around 20 minutes. Don’t fry it in a pan. It will be delicious
You forgot garlic. Copious amounts of garlic at every step.
So going to try that!
My recent go to ( not broccoli though) is toss some fresh spinach in a pan with oil and hit it with lemon pepper seasoning and a little lemon juice.
Takes like 5 including prep if you don’t mind the stalks.
Do people not like spinach stalks? It’s like my favorite part… adds a tiny bit of crunch/texture.
It’s the only cooked vegetable my kids like.
What, no sweet carrots?
Nope
broccoli is like anal sex… if you’re forced to have it as a kid, you’re not gonna like it as an adult
Holy shit
This is a relatable comparison
This is awful lolol
Fun fact: Brocollis is the ‘veg kids don’t like’ in Amercia mostly. Pixar even edited scenes in ‘Inside Out’ where a dad feeds his daughter broccoli, turing it into bell peppers for the asian market:

This shows some really nice attention to detail.
Broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans we (brother and I) were always fine with as kids. It was the asparagus and spinach I never cared for as a kid. Turned out it wanst the spinach’s fault, my mother would just buy bags of frozen spinach, put it in a microwave safe container and turn it on. So if tasted bad. As I learned to cook I started to like it as I actually used it in other ways. Asparagus though… I rarely give a chance, and usually if I do I’m trying it in bacon freeze which defeats the purpose of eating a vegetable I feel.
Both my kids favorite veggie was broccoli when they were small. I’d prepare it the way you’d get it in an Italian restaurant - small parts of it just bleached for a short time, so it stays firm, served with nice olive oil and salt. (And a bit of lemon, if I have it on hand)
Broccoli (like so many veggies) tastes awful when overcooked into a soft and mushy consistency (and then it also changes its taste in a bad way).
Here in Germany grandmas typically are amazing cooks, with the sole exception when they cooked veggies. That generation loved their vegs really soft and overcooked.
I only like raw asparagus. If it is cooked, it tastes nasty as hell
Never had it raw, thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try
Broccoli rules, one of my favorite veggies, along with carrots and fresh green beans.
Throw asparagus in there and I’m in.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie
