It's like how people tell me I'd like broccoli if it was covered in cheese. No, now you've just made a bunch of cheese taste like feces.

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.

It's okay, I'll just take all the tomatos and broccoli you guys don't want.

I'm glad you brought some balance to this thread. I fucking hate tomatoes, but I love broccoli so much.
