Broccoli caused it

I USUALLY BLAME THE DOG.

In our house: your father worked hard to pay for that food, your mother worked hard to cook it for you. If you know what's good for you, you better work hard to eat it! There was no short order cook in our house, unlike many of todays moms, cooking different things for each spoiled/unapreciative kid.

To me all they need is a little olive oil and a little vinegar. Same with aspargus, only problem with the aspargus is when I pee.

And I'll bet it's green too, isn't it??????

The florets on the top of broccoli are pretty tasty if prepared correctly. The stalks should be disposed of properly.
Whoever declared cauliflower edible should have been executed.

I dunno, but it sure smells funny!

Boiled Okra is the only veggie that comes to mind that I don't find edible. Blamed for causing all the commotion and troubles that is confronting the world seems a bit harsh.

I like both boiled and fried okra. I just can't for the life of me, can't believe anyone doesn't like boiled okra.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

i feel you on the liver. Never could eat it or even stand the smell. Now the veggies I love. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus, and cauliflower all get cooked the same way. Heat oven to 420 degrees, put your veggies in a Tupperware with some olive oil, salt and pepper and shake. Then stick it in the oven for 20 minutes. Make sure to halve the brussel sprouts. After it's cooked eat it up. Or with the broccoli I squeeze a fresh lemon over it after it's cooked. The small branches are the best when they are a little crunchy. You can also sprinkle some fresh Parmesan cheese on them also. There is never any leftovers at my house. My kids love it all.

Tupperware in a 420 degree oven? You must have some magic Tupperware.

My Mother had the secret to get us kids & grandkids to eat broccoli, asparagus, and cauliflower. smothered it with her homemade cheese sauce. Yum....

Just don't try and tell me that eating boiled Okra is why Alabama wins football championships.

Put enough butter and garlic on it, and darn near anything becomes palatable. (My wife says this is why I relish escargot...)

I like liver and onions with a side of steamed broccoli. I swear there is nothing wrong with me. Really.

For the liver, start with one whole elk, hair still on. There's a little work to do here, but it's worth it.

The broccoli you can just get out of the garden.

There are few things I WILL NOT eat. Liver and onions is at the top of the list. The liver can be a decent catfish bait.

 

[Old TexMex]

I haven't tried butter on liver yet. Maybe that's what it's missing.
........nah, nevermind...

Humans sure are funny!

Sorry fellas, but I like all of the above. It took years to develop recipes and cooking methods (not just drowned in cheese or butter) to get to that point, but I have arrived! Even my wife and kids have embraced (most of) them. I suggest you experiment a bit before you pooh-pooh them.

I grow and eat broccoli year around and okra in the summer. I eat broccoli fresh, raw, steamed, in omelets, salads with Greek yogurt and okra fried, boiled, in south Louisiana food, and grilled. By the way my grand daughter started eating raw broccoli as we picked it when less than 2 years old.

 

[TomkinsSP]

Blame the Italians!

Although broccoli dates back to before Roman
times, it's the Italians in the 1920s who really
introduced it to the U.S.

And I'm not shy about hissing at my Italian
friends and an in-law for their ancestral sin.

However, their red wines allow me to forgive them.

Eh, you a be a nice or you no a get a no cannoli.

Celery in any form is not fit for man nor beast and boiled Okra is running a close second. Other than those 2 things I guess I can make a meal out of anything. Larry

In the early 90's when divorced, I met and dated a lady from Mobile AL. She had me eating fried okra in short order. Do not know why I waited so long to try it.
