Does anyone know? Just asking because there are two commercials running here all the time that use broccoli as the butt of bad tasting food "jokes". I like it. Wouldn't eat it every day - but it's pretty tasty iwth a little seasoning and it's quite flexible... use it as is, or in salads (raw), in Chicken Alfredo, a tasty addition to a bowl of ramen noodles...

What's the beef with broccoli? Anyone know? 🧐

    Ask George H.W. Bush. Only two things he hated, the Butcher of Baghdad and brocolli.

    It's amongst my favorite veggies. I hated it as a kid, but I love it now.

    I think that it's just too weird for some people. It looks weird, it tastes weird... so they avoid it or something.

    We ate it all the time as kids. It made me stop eating it for quite awhile after moving out on my own. One time my mom was serving it for a family dinner / get together and I asked why we always had it for dinner as kids (and often at family get togethers). She said it was the ONLY vegetable that everyone in the family liked.

    Robert - Yeah, I remember the thing with Bush 41. Gotta be old for that one, though.

    Well, if you like brocoli, let me introduce you to my new best friend. Cauliflower. Slice it or chop it into pieces about an inch or two in length, put on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, grind some salt and pepper on top (or sprinkle your favorite spice medley) and bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes.

    There are all kinds of variations. Just Google "roast cauliflower."

    Broccoli is almost a wonder vegetable. Rich in fibre, antioxidants, vitamins C and K, D as well, I think. Benefits for Cancer, heart, and the immune system. The K is supposed to help with arthritis although it hasn't done much for mine.

    Cauliflower is the same but not quite as rich.
