This belief that eating healthy constitutes boiled broccoli (which nobody likes) is part of the problem…
- agos 3y agowhat's wrong with boiled broccoli?
- ben_w 3y agoIt's a thing kids famously (though perhaps stereotypically) don't like. As an adult: it's bland by itself, needs sauce, or at least black pepper and olive oil.
- ale42 3y agoIt's the first solid thing our kid ate, and he loved them. I guess it also depends on when they are exposed to that. If they are 5 years old, it's probably too late.
- dagw 3y agoTaste also evolves. My daughter loved broccoli (and a bunch of other things) when she was little, but once she turned 8 or so her tastes completely changed.
- denton-scratch 3y ago> needs sauce Yup. I favour Mornay Sauce (a.k.a. cheese sauce). I have no idea why hating broccoli is a meme; broccoli-cheese with french fries is a nutritious and tasty meal.
- guappa 3y agoProbably not as healthy as you think, by the sound of it.
- dagw 3y agoHonestly it is probably the worst way to prepare broccoli. Broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables and I would probably pass on boiled broccoli, if there was any other vegetable on offer.
- denton-scratch 3y agoI've tried steaming florets; I find it hard to judge done-ness when steaming. It's easier to blanch in not much water, then use the water to make the cheese sauce.
