A recent survey (n=1) has come to the following conclusions regarding goodness of members of the Brassica family:

  • broccoli: 5/5. Godly. Fry in pan on very high heat, severly searing the outside, but keeping the inside crisp.
  • savoy: 4.5/5. Very versatile. Easy to grow yourself. Smells amazing.
  • kale: 4.5/5. Must have in winter.
  • green cabbage: 4.5/5. Cheers from Sauerkraut country!
  • turnip: 3/5. Alright. Sometimes nice to have. Great raw with dip.
  • cauliflower: 2/5. Tastes like nothing. Only this high up because my ~~control group~~ girlfriend loves it.
  • Brussel sprouts: 0.5/5. Technically edible.
  • Broccoli, cooked: warcrime.

This list reads like someone who’s never been served roasted brussel sprouts or steamed broccoli.

ugh, why would you ruin a perfectly nice broccoli? why go with mushy when you can choose crispy?

You know you can steam em without turning em to mush right?

fair enough, it may be bad experiences talking

Anything, absolutely anything that is edible, can be coaxed into something at least vaguely palatable with enough skill, fat, and spices.
