Many years ago my kids pediatrician recommended feeding the kids kale smoothies. I didn't have any Kale at home so I cooked bunch of broccoli to mush and mixed it with bananas. Those kids eat half a pound of broccoli for breakfast just about every day now. They also eat it raw or crunchy cooked. Definitely the best medical advice I've ever gotten and the kids are used to a very simple and quick to make breakfast that keeps them full for hours.

Tldr: Kids constantly surprise me and sometimes they like vegetables.

Broccoli rules, one of my favorite veggies, along with carrots and fresh green beans.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie

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.

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?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't think so, no. Why?

Broccoli is like green tofu. It tastes like whatever you cook it in. There is perhaps no other food which has more surface area for holding sauce or seasoning.

vegetables in general and tasting bad is moreso lack of preparation/cooking rather than the actual thing itself most of the time. Brusselsprouts is the polarizing one where its seen the most.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 14 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's because traditionally bitter vegetables have been selectively bred to taste better. The brussel sprouts and broccoli your parents had were very different than what we have today.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Honestly I'm still pretty skeptical of this factoid. The Brussel sprouts now taste pretty similar to the ones I had in the 80s and 90s when cooked the same way. The whole "Brussel sprouts taste new" feels like some industry marketing to me.

I hated broccoli as a kid and I still hate it as an adult. It tastes the way farts smell. 🤮

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you ever feel like giving it another go, try roasting it up with the florets coated in some olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and a bit of smoky paprika if you've got it around

I guarantee it'll at least be the best version you've had
