I sympathize with the bottom part so much. My parents absolutely refused to cook anything ever and bought the worst, most unhealthy prepackaged foods from the grocery stores. I spent the first years of my life thinking that things like apples just weren’t sold at my local Kroger because we never had them. I felt like shit mentally and physically for pretty much the first 18 years of my life because of it.
I grew up, moved out, and holy shit I love eating “rabbit food,” as my dad used to call it and I never would have learned before is that cooking is fun
Did you to wish you could fuck your friends mom‽
Yes but that was irrelevant because she never cooked for me, she was just hot. Still is, in fact.
We always joke that he has a Wine Mom. He thinks that we’re calling her a drunk. It means that she gets better with age.
Relevant username if I ever saw one
Man I was tormented with that crap as a kid. “HOLY CRAP YOUR SISTER IS HOT!!! That’s your mommmmmm? Whoa!”
Same crap with my sister.
I see them both as living farts.
Well now we need to see pictures of your hot mom and hot sis so we can judge for ourselves in the name of science and research.
Commenting to come back to see that guys mom
The good news is if your mother and sister are attractive, There’s decent odds your good looking as well. Unless your mother fucked an ogre, and if that’s so… Well at least Shrek’s your dad?
I’m not ugly, but I’m the least attractive member of my family.
My brother looked like a Greek god, my sister looked like a model. My dad was so sought after that his name was spray painted all over our town with hearts and love confessions. Bridges, buildings, love for him was everywhere. He was chased by women aged 18-90.
I was born with crossed eyes and had to have a corrective surgery. Every man in my family is over 6ft tall and I’m only 5’7. I still randomly message my mother to thank her for going through with the surgery.
I definitely lost the lottery, but it could have been worse.
Well incase no one has told you that you are attractive lately, you’re fucking beautiful man. May every road rise up to meet you
Well thank you. :p You’re beautiful too!
Love the interrobang.
I feel you. I weirdly did have vegetables and things growing up, but my mom self admittedly hates cooking. So most of what we ate consisted of casseroles made up of things dumped out of a can and any veggies likely also came from a can and we’re heated up on the stove. She also over cooked all the meat to make sure people wouldn’t get sick. So all the veggies were bland and mushy and all the meat was dry as fuck. I’ll never forget the first time I ate fresh pineapple at my inlaws house and it was one of the best things I ever tasted. I’m pretty good at cooking now and I’ve managed to help my mom improve in all ways as well. She now uses a meat thermometer that I got her for Christmas. I cooked her some fresh broccoli in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and she loved it and started making hers that way instead of boiling it. Baby steps, but we’re making progress.
Rabbit food? What the fuck
Some dudes live their whole lives afraid their balls will fall off and roll away if they eat anything but brown meat.
Hey, c’mon, there’s all kinds of dudes that love going to town on some brown meat.
Enjoying meat and two veg on a daily basis is traditional.

In the 90s people started suggesting eating veggies occasionally and the American populace reacted predictably, i.e. as if someone were threatening to literally emasculate them.
Kind of like the modern anti-vax/anti-mask freaks.
Fellas, is it gay to eat healthy?
Gays, is it healthy to eat fellas?
I’ve heard it be said from many men that I knew growing up that the more processed food is, the better, because it kills all the germs that come out of the ground. I’ve not seen that man eat anything green that wasn’t on top of a fast food cheeseburger in all my years alive.
broccoli is like anal sex… if you’re forced to have it as a kid, you’re not gonna like it as an adult
This is awful lolol
Holy shit
This checks out but dude you need Charter.
The “kids don’t like broccoli” has a scientific reason. Kids have a lot more receptors for aromas tasting bitter (10 to 15k different chemical compounds taste bitter to them) which reduce to 5k or less when growing up. So some types of food that adults can eat without problems because they lack the receptors have bitter and vile flavours for kids.
Plant breeders have also been busy reducing bitterness/tannins in various vegetables like brussel sprouts and canola oil, so things are in fact less bitter than 30 years ago.
Any word on if this impacts nutrition?
I’m mostly familiar with animal feed, where nutritional quality weighs quite heavy during selection. For human consumption I assume there are some base nutritional standards when applying to enter the market with a new breed, but might heavily depend on your region.
Doesn’t help a lot of people used to just boil broccoli without seasoning. Doesn’t do the flavor any favors.
My stepmother was that way so I couldn’t stand broccoli growing up. Most vegetables were blan and tasteless without salt and boiled.
I rarely buy them now because I can’t physically handle cooking every day now. So most vegetables go bad in the fridge.
I always assumed this is also why adults love disgusting cheese (I do to a degree as well nowadays). We just lost our sense of taste and call it refined taste.
The “losing taste” is actually a beneficial thing. Most things that kids don’t like are either risky (e.g. coffee) or difficult to digest (all kinds of cabbage), so it is good that kids don’t like them. For adults being able to expand acceess to available foods helps feeding the horde in difficult times.
So I was right to avoid the golumpkis
(They really aren’t bad… but cooked cabbage smell is scary to a child)
Broccoli is so good it makes me horny too. I fucking love broccoli.
Fun Fact, if broccoli kinda tastes like soap to you, congratulations! You have a gene variation that makes certain bitter flavors taste like soap, it’s stronger in childhood (which is potentially why “Kids hate broccoli” trope is a thing) and tends to fade into adulthood, but not always.
There are also studies being done to figure out specifically which compounds in broccoli make it taste like that to cultivate it out to encourage more broccoli consumption
Glad to see some scientific stuff under a “I would fuck his mom for serving broccoli” content.
I hate having this gene variant, so many things taste bad. People judge you, it’s hard to order at restaurants, etc.
Broccoli tossed in olive oil, cooked in an air fryer until crispy and then sprinkled with course salt. Delicious 👌🏼
So going to try that!
My recent go to ( not broccoli though) is toss some fresh spinach in a pan with oil and hit it with lemon pepper seasoning and a little lemon juice.
Takes like 5 including prep if you don’t mind the stalks.
Your recipe sounds really good as well. I’ll definitely give it a try
I thought broccoli only got softer when cooked. Does this work if you don’t have an air fryer and you fry it in a pan?
Now I’m wondering what would it would taste like to marinade broccoli in butter and garlic then took them out and put them in a dehydrator to make them into chips
Just cut into bite size pieces, toss it in oil, salt and pepper it, put it on a baking sheet and roast at 425 for around 20 minutes. Don’t fry it in a pan. It will be delicious
This is the way, never liked broccoli until I learned to make it like this. I love adding different seasonings too depending on the flavor profile of the meal - curry and ginger powder for indian dishes, cajun seasoning if you like spicy, or garlic/lemon/italian seasoning.
Air fryers are just convection ovens. Its baking it.
They are actually different, but it’s based on locations and how/when they circulate air.
This may be an interesting read… Or not, fuck all do I know about what you enjoy haha
That page is giving me a 403 message
Strange 403 is access denied I believe. If your using a VPN maybe change to another location. I’m in the U.S. Switched mine to the UK and France and both worked. I use Spain a lot do to their laws on Piracy. (Legal unless used for profit)
Many years ago my kids pediatrician recommended feeding the kids kale smoothies. I didn’t have any Kale at home so I cooked bunch of broccoli to mush and mixed it with bananas. Those kids eat half a pound of broccoli for breakfast just about every day now. They also eat it raw or crunchy cooked. Definitely the best medical advice I’ve ever gotten and the kids are used to a very simple and quick to make breakfast that keeps them full for hours.
Tldr: Kids constantly surprise me and sometimes they like vegetables.
In what way is „kale smoothies“ a medical advice and why would you designate it as the best, if you didn’t even follow it and used different vegetables?
This comment is so over the top weird, I feel like I missed the joke here.
It’s medical advice because it came from a doctor in a professional setting when we were discussing how to get more iron in their diets since we don’t eat many fortified foods. Kale and broccoli are close enough nutritionally to be swapped if one is just looking for the vitamins and minerals. Lastly, It the longest I’ve ever continuously followed a recommendation and it has made my life way easier. That makes it the best advice I’ve gotten.
Thanks for the clarification!
It reads like a 1 star recipe review

Well, german but Broccoli and cauliflower with breadcrumbs and butter. Grandma always made this, which is why i liked it as a kid.
well that escalated quickly
My theory on this is that some of the hate for a lot of vegetables comes from either eating canned ones or poorly cooked ones. My girlfriend didn’t know she liked green beans until she started living with my family and my father made her some. My dad sautéed the in butter with garlic, and she only had ever had those extremely mushy canned ones and had concluded on that basis she hated green beans.
Same for meatloaf
You can absolutely fuck meatloaf
You wanted to fuck your friend’s meatloaf?
Nice to read about a person that so appreciated the kindness of another that they were willing to extend a kindness to them
I too choose this guy’s mom.
