Brocolli

[ShaunSA]

So last night the SO makes a salad using raw brocolli, cauliflower etc etc. Was delicious

Now I've been enjoying brocolli for a few years since he introduced me to it (Brocolli is non-existant in Indian kitchens) - but this was really really good.

So howcome so many folks hate brocolli? It's bloody nice!!!

It's okay raw, but can be (and generally is) cooked to mushiness at which point it's really unpleasant.

Raw brocolli and cauliflower salad is bloody fantastic ... especially if you bang in some crispy bacon bits and some well matured cheddar

Fussy eaters miss out on so much gastronomic pleasure

It is nice. Have you tried it with humous?

Just don't eat too much ....!

I like to cook my veggies so that they're still a little bit crisp, but not too soft.

But too much broccoli... beware

Steamed or roasted is the only way to do broccoli.

1. How about in a veg curry?

2. One of the problems with broccoli, is the smell. Not good !

Adding bacon and cheese takes away the 'healthy' attributes of a salad.

I love broccolli, only uncooked... i hate it when its cooked... makes me sick...

Actually most vegetables i prefer uncooked rather than cooked...

C'mon... those are my two favourite health foods

Never liked brocolli as a child, love the stuff now covered in a rich cheese sauce

What about Brussel sprouts?

 

[ShaunSA]

Brussels sprouts are good! Must be fresh though. Hate those frozen ones

 

[Peder]

i only eat brussel sprouts if they are uncooked no exceptions

 

[Lycanthrope]

Mmm... I love broccoli :3 Has to be cooked though to the point of still being crunchy, but soft. Aromat, nutmeg... Mmmm is all good

 

[Jewelbox]

Broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, spinach......love it!

It's also good at making 007 movies.

My missus makes a killer broccoli soup! It's really quick and easy too.
You fry yourself some bacon and chop it up relatively fine.
Then you dice up some broccoli, really fine.
Bring some milk to the boil, and add some corn starch just to thicken it up a bit. Add broccoli and stir in thoroughly. Also add salt and pepper at this point.
Then crumble in a generous amount of feta(to taste, of course) and add the bacon.
Serve.
Garnish with crumbled feta on top and keep the pepper grinder handy as it adds awesome flavour.
The entire thing should take you around 15min to make and it's absolutely fantastic!

I hate raw brocolli. Taste disgusting and all flaky. prefer it cooked.

Brocolli is very heathly and cheese souce is not. So the 2 cancel each other out. That way you get no nutrition.
I tought myself this.
