@Fragglemuppet Raw broccoli tastes too bitter for me. Raw cauliflower tastes like sock. I like both, but they are both more palatable when cooked. Steamed is best for both options.

@Fragglemuppet cauliflower is okay, I'm not picky. But Broccoli is my jam!

[ketakater@social.vivaldi.net]

@zalasur @Fragglemuppet interesting. I love the taste of raw cauliflower.

I totally dislike it cooked (in water), but do like it roasted/pan-fried

@Fragglemuppet Steamed with cheese all over the place. Maybe with some tiny silver skin onions as well.

@Fragglemuppet @GrahamDowns My wife already knows the millisecond my youngest child leaves for college I will never consume those again. Ever. In. My. Life. I'm only, for now, supposed to be "a good example" to the kids or something. LOL.

@Fragglemuppet Can I cast a write-in vote for brussel sprouts?

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Fragglemuppet Just had both

With leek, sprouts, peas, cheese sauce, bacon bits & extra cheese on top then grilled to brown the cheese off

Tastes better than it sounds

@Fragglemuppet @giflian I put broccoli on the pizza I made for supper today! 🥦️

[giflian@techhub.social]

@Fragglemuppet Looks like nobody has written in regarding the accursed broccoflower? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broccoflower

[giflian@techhub.social]

@uxMark @Fragglemuppet I don't like broc on pizza, but I'm happy you do.

They're my favourite since childhood because they look like little trees.

[uxmark@cosocial.ca]

@giflian @Fragglemuppet I love them raw with dip, too. And we have other suppers based on them. I love cauliflower too. And cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Really, the whole family

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@michaelvcooper1 Love those!

But broccoli and cauliflower tend to be thought of similarly, even though they're not really.

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@staringatclouds And it sounds amazing!

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@giflian @uxMark Aw, my mom and grandmother used t o call them Christmas trees.

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Fragglemuppet it's a 'throw what veg you have, in the pot, steam it, cover it with cheese sauce, cheese & bacon bits' type recipe, no fixed amounts or set ingredients

I tend to avoid root veg for it tho, might work, you never know

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@staringatclouds Turns out turnip with a little cheddar cheese is quite good.

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@giflian I've heard of it, but never tried it.

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Fragglemuppet I have a problem with turnip, I can't keep it down

I used to like it mashed with carrots & butter when I was little but became intolerant as I grew older

@Fragglemuppet

In my experience, if you grow cauliflower in a warm location, it tends to look a lot like broccoli.

Broccoli and cauliflower were only developed in the last 500 years or so.

Kale, kohlrabi, cabbage, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts are all cultivars of wild mustard.
