Wait, but I put mustard on my broccoli...

Wow, 7 bad flavors out of one plant. What a record

They're delicious if cooked properly. I'm a lazy bastard and just microwave steam my cauliflower and broccoli though.

People have some hate boner against Brussels sprouts, but damn - if you know how to prepare them, they're delicious.

Selective breeding does play a role but also how you prepare them. Just like other brassicae if you cook them for too long they start smelling bad, so you want to use high heat and relatively short cooking times.

For example. My go-to approach is to cut them into halves and pan-fry in lard. High fire. People claim it's delicious.

I mean, things fried in lard do usually come out delicious.

Right, when I was growing up, always steamed or boiled - absolute trash. Just throw them on a pan under the broiler with some oil and salt/pepper chefs kiss

I've had this discussion before, had the "proper way" of preparing them explained to me and made them according to these instructions. Turns out, I just don't like the taste. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Does this mean I can put mustard on things instead of eating all these vegetables?

Weird how mustard (the condiment) tastes so good yet the cultivars of this particular species all taste horrible to me.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 2 hours ago

lol and I think they all taste bad.
