Fucking Stupid Statement To Make.

[PreMadonna]

I love broccoli.

who the fuck in their right mind loves fucking broccoli?

Broccoli is tolerable as a vegetable full of iron and stuff. But in no way ever is it lovable.

Kittens are lovable. Red wine is lovable. Chocolate is an enjoyable food stuff.

Broccoli is not fucking lovable. Therefore 'I love broccoli' is a fucking stupid thing to say.

fin.

Broccoli is foul. It smells and tastes rank, and the weird texture makes me want to gag.

I do, however, love roasted parsnips...

[IfNotNowThenWhen]

I will join your quiche. As long as there is no broccoli in it.

[PiperIsTerrysChoclateOrange]

a little olive oil
1 medium yellow onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
6-8 broccoli stumps, trimmed
water
fresh ground sea salt and black pepper
seasonings [sage, basil, thyme, oregano, all delicious] to taste
optional: grated carrot, chopped mushrooms, handfuls of spinach
optional: non-dairy milk

Heat a little olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add onions, stirring until translucent and then add garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Add broccoli stumps and cover with just enough water. Season (you can add more later to taste). If using extra vegetables for variety, throw them in now, also, adding more water if necessary.

Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cover, and allow to cook until vegetables are softened, about 20 to 30 minutes.

When cooked through, using an immersion blender, whizz soup until smooth. Add non-dairy milk if desired to preferred smoothness.

DONT CHUCK AWAY THE STUMPS.

[LapsedTwentysomething]

I really hate broccoli since pregnancy. YANBU.

I fucking love kale though. Not as much as kittens but it is good.

[BurnThisDiscoDown]

I like broccoli, but not as much as I like chocolate and kittens. Don't mind parsnips but dislike the way roast ones lure you into eating them by masquerading as roast potatoes.

PreMadonna, are you related to George Bush?

[AtlanticDrift]

I love it. I also love sprouts too. The only veg I hate is mushroom

[vienna1981]

Sprouts. I've never had them. The smell of them cooking put me off for life. Maybe they too are the handiwork of Satan...along with toffees impregnated with nuts. Only the unholy could have dreamed that up. To quote a child on here a few weeks ago, "inconceivable".

[PreMadonna]

Want to join my quiche ifnot?

[PreMadonna]

Cattapilla?

Cattapiller?

Catapiller?

Caterpiller?

Catapilla?

Catapila?

Catapiler?

Catarpilla?

Cattarpillar?

[IfNotNowThenWhen]

YANBU. At all.
And, broccoli isn't even as bitter as it was when I were a lass. Then it made me want to vomit, now I can bring myself to eat it. Because it's good for me.

[PunkrockerGirl]

Broccoli is the work of the devil.

[LegoCaltrops]

I love broccoli. And parsnips. And sprouts (cooked correctly, obviously). I do appreciate they are unlikely to love me back!

OTOH, I don't love cheap Cadburys chocolate. I'd sooner go without altogether. For example. We're all different.

[PreMadonna]

I think I need to go to bed.

My broccoli outrage has given in to shedding tears over the library boat and reading the hungry catterpiller to little people in Laos.

[Cuppachaplz]

Ooh!
And mushy peas and spam fritters.
Thanks for the timely reminder vienna

[Cuppachaplz]

I love broccoli.
And kale.
And beet root.
Loving pregnant excuses to smother broccoli in cheese sauce and keep troughing.
I hate chocolate, but am missing red wine very much

[PreMadonna]

That's bullying that is. I shall complain to MNHQ.

I may not love fucking broccoli but throwing me out of the quiche is a Step Too Far.

I am discusted and appauled.

[Bartlebee]

I love broccoli.

We go to a particular restaurant just because of the way they cook broccoli.

[TheBatteriesHaveRunOut]

PreMadonna you are just not in our quiche.

Unlike the broccoli.

[MyOwnJungle]

I like it. I also like parsnips! um and red wine (of course)

To be honest though when people claim to like anchovies I don't believe them.

[writtenguarantee]

I love broccoli. You must be cooking it wrong.

I am not a lover of it, but I like it.

A friend of mine once said when he was young he thought broccoli was inedible if not in it's grey form. he also didn't like broccoli.

[Honeydragon]

Oooooh beetroot .... Yum.

[vienna1981]

I wouldn't say I love broccoli but I do like it. Just can't be arsed preparing and cooking it.

I also like any wine (except for Liebfraumilch ), chocolate generally and pretty much anything which is either tasty or bad for you. However, the following foods are from the Devil's kitchen and have no place in my life:

Mushy peas, beetroot, spam fritters, rice pudding, tapioca and mashed potatoes.

Oh, and parsnips too. Yukkity yuk.

[StuntCodPiece]

I love broccoli. And sprouts.

This thread is making me want lots of broccoli smothered in homemade chicken gravy

[PreMadonna]

I love you all but you are weird and unreasonable.
