As I am sitting here eating my fresh veggies I cant help but wonder, at what point in my life did Broccoli become so delicious? I used to eat broccoli because I had to and I just now missed a phone call because I had my mouth stuffed with the stuff.
When is it that you make the turn and those foods that as a youngster were the "Choke it down so you get desert" items became a food of voluntary consumption?
I used to despise brussle sprouts and now I cant get enough of them. Broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms... same thing.
What is the food you hated as a kid / young adult that you absolutely love now?

I think my taste for different foods changed when I went thru puberty...like last year...lol No but really...i was in my early teens when I started eating different foods. Funny thing is though....when I was younger...I use to eat sardines in mustard sauce and beef liver.....all those weird things...but never liked cauli. or broc. and stuff like that. Now I despise sardines and beef liver( i still like chicken livers though) so kinda weird I know ...but remember...its Me Timmay!

Broccoli is great, after we steam it (we steam all our veggies) we toss it w/ a little olive oil and garlic, salt and freshly ground pepper, serve and a few scrapes of parmesean cheese. Fantastic.
I know my tastes change, when I was very young I loved bell peppers, green or red, then as a teenager they tasted strange, now like everything else they taste fantastic. Love cauliflower too, particularly gratineed, I've even eaten stewed okra, but I like lots of tomato and fixed so it isn't slimy. Fried okra's better than popcorn.
Mostly I find the veggies are best, like almost everything, if fresh-never canned--and not overcooked. We go to Whole Foods for veggies a lot, much better quality than the other chains and worth the extra price--plus they sell local veggies as fresh as can be.

I can't say that i know your experience exactly. As long as i can remember, I have loved broccoli, asparagus, artichokes, and the likes. But i am not a fan of the Cheerio and Ketchup mix anymore.
-
nice pic SKiking and eat those veggies!
-
Spent a lot of time on a farm growing up so I grew up eating every kind of vegetable. Still haven't found one I DON"T like.

I still hate the things I hated when I was a kid. Broccoli is at the top of the list. !*u%e

I have always loved vegetables, like Paul, never had a vegetable I didnt like.
Corn on the cob and tomatoes being my favorite. I rarely eat any vegetable out of a can with the exception of tin tomatoes which are good if you are making a soup or stew.
saintc, your broccoli recipe sounds good, may have to try that.
-
If you're from the south, just dip anything in batter and deep fry it....and maybe even dip it in ketchup and it ain't half bad. :*))

I'm still waiting for broccoli to get tasty??????

I think it was when I was in my teenage years. My mom always made this broccoli casserole. I would never try it because I never liked broccoli as a youngster. She made it once for Christmas Dinner and I said the heck with it, I'll give it a shot. I've loved broccoli ever since.
-
It was after I was on my own. My mother gave me her "Sudden Death Asparagus Casserole Recipe" (the name is a joke - when their is a sudden death in community, she can have it, from time of hearing the news to the family's table, in one hour). I was making it once for a covered dish dinner and bought brocolli by mistake. Made it anyway and subbed the brocolli. It was awesome.

Asparagus, huh? I might have to get that recipe from you bro. Mmmmm.
-
Asparagus.
But that was only because all we ever got was the canned stuff. If you look up "vile" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of canned asparagus.
Fresh asparagus -- especially grilled -- is delicious.

Right on. I've never met a veggie I didn't like.

CHOPPIN BROCCOLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! .... CHOPPIN BROCCOLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
-
asparagus is amazing if you char it on the grill when you are cooking burgers or steaks
-
I love all veggies except beets..... as a kid I hated carrots but I love them now.
-
Broccolli with a nice cheese sauce. Can't beat it.
-
why ruin the broccoli with cheese sauce
-
Broccoli tasty? Just when the heck did that happen? :o
-
broccoli is awesome. I love it raw dipped in ranch dressing....yumm..wish I had some right now.
-
Anything dipped in Ranch dressing is delicious. Ever deep fried Ranch dressing? Oh man that is great.

What??? I'm not knocking it bro. I've just never heard of anything like that. Please explain a little more.

I couldn't agree more!! Fresh asparagus tossed in a little olive oil and some seasoning and then thrown on the grill!! MMMMmmmmmmmmm....
As for broccoli... always loved it and still do (just not as much as asparagus!!)
-
Fried Ranch dip??? Please inform us
-
Um, just the thought of the stuff (broccoli) makes me want to hurl!
-
You take a dollop of Ranch dressing and coat it lightly in breadcrumbs and drop it into a deep fryer. I use peanut oil. The trick is to make the Ranch dressing really thick and not runny or else it is difficult to make it stay in one piece.
This may not be for the faint of heart, and I would never eat it again, but it is pretty damn delicious.
-
Dudes.......... ranch dressing, even the smell of it, makes me gag............ I can't stand to be in the same room with the stuff.

I like Blue Cheese dressing but I don't eat it very often because it's like a heart attack waiting to happen. I try to be healthy and go for vinagrettes.......

I do something like that with cauliflower and eggplant. The truth is any cruciferous vegetable tastes better batter-coated and fried. And fish too.
The only time I eat broccoli is in a stir fry with beef, soy sauce and rice. Have to try it your way, JDog. O0
