Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs
(files.catbox.moe)
Same for meatloaf
There are just a ton of foods that input in my mouth that immediately make me feel like I'm going to vomit. I really hate it.
Did you get sick a lot as a kid? Like long term, not just related to food?
I don't think so, no. Why?
I think they're asking because you can develop taste aversion by eating something and getting sick (even if the sickness is completely unrelated).
My sister got H1N1 when it was proliferating, and she had a box of nilla wafers before the symptoms started hitting hard. Now she inexplicably can't eat a single nilla wafer.
Ohhh. No, I think it's because my parents didn't make me try many foods when I was young and then once they began it was the big ordeal of never letting me leave the table until I tried some. Many times I would wait them out because things just disgusted me that much.
I'd still describe myself as a pretty "picky eater" and I loathe trying anything new in public, but I've gotten a lot better and I have pickier friends too now. (It helps not being the most picky lol.)
well that escalated quickly
You never wanted to fuck your friend's mom?
I mean... yeah. But after you hit thirty and you can have all the milfs you want. It's free moms.
Well, german but Broccoli and cauliflower with breadcrumbs and butter. Grandma always made this, which is why i liked it as a kid.
broccoli is like anal sex… if you’re forced to have it as a kid, you’re not gonna like it as an adult
This checks out but dude you need Charter.
Holy shit
This is awful lolol
This is a relatable comparison
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
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.
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?
Now 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
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
This is the way, never liked broccoli until I learned to make it like this. I love adding different seasonings too depending on the flavor profile of the meal - curry and ginger powder for indian dishes, cajun seasoning if you like spicy, or garlic/lemon/italian seasoning.
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.
Do people not like spinach stalks? It's like my favorite part... adds a tiny bit of crunch/texture.

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.
I always assumed this is also why adults love disgusting cheese (I do to a degree as well nowadays). We just lost our sense of taste and call it refined taste.
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.
So I was right to avoid the golumpkis
(They really aren't bad.. but cooked cabbage smell is scary to a child)
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.
Brussels Sprouts are another one... I don't think I had properly cooked Brussels sprouts until I was in my mid-to-late-20s, and they've become one of my favorite vegetables. They're so fucking good dude.

Doesn't help a lot of people used to just boil broccoli without seasoning. Doesn't do the flavor any favors.

Broccoli is so good it makes me horny too. I fucking love broccoli.
But, do you love fucking broccoli?
It was, "I, fucking, love broccoli."
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
I hate having this gene variant, so many things taste bad. People judge you, it's hard to order at restaurants, etc.
