    Now I know how the tomato eaters feel. For me, nothing beats a little lightly steamed broccoli with a little kosher salt.

    But you don’t have to eat it, and I’ll never tell you “You’ve never had it done right” or “what about fresh picked broccoli” because I respect your opinion.

      It’s not my opinion, it’s a fact that broccoli contains something that tastes like literal shit and makes me feel physically ill - even if I don’t know it’s there.

        Brassicas contain sulfur compounds that do, indeed, smell like shit. Just like how some folks insist cilantro tastes like soap.

          Cilantro tasting like soap is a genetic issue though, even if it can be overridden by repeated exposure to crushed cilantro.
