broccoli is like anal sex… if you’re forced to have it as a kid, you’re not gonna like it as an adult

I sympathize with the bottom part so much. My parents absolutely refused to cook anything ever and bought the worst, most unhealthy prepackaged foods from the grocery stores. I spent the first years of my life thinking that things like apples just weren't sold at my local Kroger because we never had them. I felt like shit mentally and physically for pretty much the first 18 years of my life because of it.

I grew up, moved out, and holy shit I love eating "rabbit food," as my dad used to call it and I never would have learned before is that cooking is fun

Did you to wish you could fuck your friends mom‽

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 117 points 4 days ago (9 children)

Yes but that was irrelevant because she never cooked for me, she was just hot. Still is, in fact.

We always joke that he has a Wine Mom. He thinks that we're calling her a drunk. It means that she gets better with age.

I feel you. I weirdly did have vegetables and things growing up, but my mom self admittedly hates cooking. So most of what we ate consisted of casseroles made up of things dumped out of a can and any veggies likely also came from a can and we're heated up on the stove. She also over cooked all the meat to make sure people wouldn't get sick. So all the veggies were bland and mushy and all the meat was dry as fuck. I'll never forget the first time I ate fresh pineapple at my inlaws house and it was one of the best things I ever tasted. I'm pretty good at cooking now and I've managed to help my mom improve in all ways as well. She now uses a meat thermometer that I got her for Christmas. I cooked her some fresh broccoli in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and she loved it and started making hers that way instead of boiling it. Baby steps, but we're making progress.

The "kids don't like broccoli" has a scientific reason. Kids have a lot more receptors for aromas tasting bitter (10 to 15k different chemical compounds taste bitter to them) which reduce to 5k or less when growing up. So some types of food that adults can eat without problems because they lack the receptors have bitter and vile flavours for kids.

[–] Drint@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Plant breeders have also been busy reducing bitterness/tannins in various vegetables like brussel sprouts and canola oil, so things are in fact less bitter than 30 years ago.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Any word on if this impacts nutrition?

Doesn't help a lot of people used to just boil broccoli without seasoning. Doesn't do the flavor any favors.

I always assumed this is also why adults love disgusting cheese (I do to a degree as well nowadays). We just lost our sense of taste and call it refined taste.

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.

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:

Broccoli is so good it makes me horny too. I fucking love broccoli.

[–] zout@fedia.io 41 points 4 days ago (2 children)

But, do you love fucking broccoli?

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 38 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What happens at the farmers market stays at the farmers market

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm not kink shaming but if you fuck the broccoli you better not leave it at the farmers market. You take that shit home with you afterwards.

Broccoli tossed in olive oil, cooked in an air fryer until crispy and then sprinkled with course salt. Delicious 👌🏼

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago

You forgot garlic. Copious amounts of garlic at every step.

Well, german but Broccoli and cauliflower with breadcrumbs and butter. Grandma always made this, which is why i liked it as a kid.

You wanted to fuck your friend's meatloaf?

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

You can absolutely fuck meatloaf

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 36 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Fun Fact, if broccoli kinda tastes like soap to you, congratulations! You have a gene variation that makes certain bitter flavors taste like soap, it's stronger in childhood (which is potentially why "Kids hate broccoli" trope is a thing) and tends to fade into adulthood, but not always.

There are also studies being done to figure out specifically which compounds in broccoli make it taste like that to cultivate it out to encourage more broccoli consumption

Broccoli and cheese is awesome. Other preparations like steamed are not as delicious, but ymmv.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Steamed broccoli + garlic salt, just dont overdo the brocc until it's mushy

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 24 points 4 days ago (10 children)

I think that's where the reputation comes from. Overcooked broccoli is inedible, and I know people who refuse to leave any bite to it at all, which seems insane.

I feel like crunchy, fresh broccoli is a relatively new trend. I found out about it on my own, at my place as a kid it always looked like green boogers and tasted the way you imagine that would.
