It’s weird for me then because I loved vegetables as a kid but I still hate bitter things. I don’t enjoy beer or coffee. Can’t get enough broccoli or asparagus though.

Usually it’s brassicas that cause that yuck reaction. Cabbage, broccoli, cale.

Beer and coffee you can aquire pretty easily if you want to, because of the drugs. I’m fat enough without beer though, so it’s still nasty to me. I speak with such confidence because I aquired a taste for campari which is about as bitter as Satan’s asshole. I hated it at first, just putting it on my tongue was an exercise in torture. Now I like it.

My wife insists that broccoli is disgusting.
I like it. It’s not like super flavorful or anything, but I’ll roast and salt a little broccoli for something to add to my fettuccine. She always passes and refuses to even try it.
More for me.

Broccoli is, like, one of the least disgusting vegetables.
Anything that tastes vaguely like soap, however, ruins a whole dish for me.

It tastes like soap to me but I’ve just grown accustomed to it, and something’s missing if it’s not there.

I recently discovered adding red pepper flakes to broccoli and holy shit it is delicious.
