I guess I should be happy I like broccoli. Here I always thought people just didn’t care for the smell, like brussel sprouts and anal apparently

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. 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

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

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.

Rabbit food? What the fuck

Some dudes live their whole lives afraid their balls will fall off and roll away if they eat anything but brown meat.
anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
In the 90s people started suggesting eating veggies occasionally and the American populace reacted predictably, i.e. as if someone were threatening to literally emasculate them.
Kind of like the modern anti-vax/anti-mask freaks.

I’ve heard it be said from many men that I knew growing up that the more processed food is, the better, because it kills all the germs that come out of the ground. I’ve not seen that man eat anything green that wasn’t on top of a fast food cheeseburger in all my years alive.

Did you get sick a lot as a kid? Like long term, not just related to food?
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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 1 day ago
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.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 hours ago
Brussels Sprouts are another one… I don’t think I had properly cooked Brussels sprouts until I was in my mid-20s, and they’ve become one of my favorite vegetables. They’re so fucking good dude.
dalekcaan@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Doesn’t help a lot of people used to just boil broccoli without seasoning. Doesn’t do the flavor any favors.
Crismus@lemmy.world 1 day ago
My stepmother was that way so I couldn’t stand broccoli growing up. Most vegetables were blan and tasteless without salt and boiled.
I rarely buy them now because I can’t physically handle cooking every day now. So most vegetables go bad in the fridge.
menemen@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
I always assumed this is also why adults love disgusting cheese (I do to a degree as well nowadays). We just our sense of taste and call it refined taste.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
The “losing taste” is actually a beneficial thing. Most things that kids don’t like are either risky (e.g. coffee) or difficult to digest (all kinds of cabbage), so it is good that kids don’t like them. For adults being able to expand acceess to available foods helps feeding the horde in difficult times.
Dhs92@programming.dev 1 day ago
That’s interesting. Do you have any sources on this phenomenon?
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This one, for example: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4654709/
Or this one: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22197939/
Originally, I had read a cluster of those articles some years ago, but scientific articles like to hide behind paywalls nowadays.

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.

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

You forgot garlic. Copious amounts of garlic at every step.
Crashumbc@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
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.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 hours ago
Do people not like spinach stalks? It’s like my favorite part… adds a tiny bit of crunch/texture.

Your recipe sounds really good as well. I’ll definitely give it a try
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 hours ago
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
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 hours ago
Air fryers are just convection ovens. Its baking it.
TORFdot0@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
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

Well, german but Broccoli and cauliflower with breadcrumbs and butter. Grandma always made this.
cm0002@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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
Samsy@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Glad to see some scientific stuff under a “I would fuck his mom for serving broccoli” content.

Are you saying that I might stop hating coriander when I retire? But I really like broccoli, so maybe it’s a different kind of soap gene…

Steamed broccoli with a little soy sauce & Sriracha is one of my absolute favorite snacks. Cauliflower, too. I’m gonna go make some.
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Steamed is my default method of cooking broccoli.
I cut the stalk up for soup and pasta. Then I lightly steam the florets and I like it.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
In almost all cases, I frankly detest steamed vegetables. Probably due to my grandmother steaming the absolute piss out of ANY vegetable when we visited. My mother didn’t overcook them nearly as bad, but to this day I just don’t enjoy the flavor of any vegetable steamed nearly as much as I do roasted in the oven. High heat + short time + delicious, crisp, lightly charred goodness

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.
blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
In what way is „kale smoothies“ a medical advice and why would you designate it as the best, if you didn’t even follow it and used different vegetables?
This comment is so over the top weird, I feel like I missed the joke here.
WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s medical advice because it came from a doctor in a professional setting when we were discussing how to get more iron in their diets since we don’t eat many fortified foods. Kale and broccoli are close enough nutritionally to be swapped if one is just looking for the vitamins and minerals. Lastly, It the longest I’ve ever continuously followed a recommendation and it has made my life way easier. That makes it the best advice I’ve gotten.

PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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 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.

Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
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.
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
