What was with Broccoli being singled out amongst other vegetables in cartoons as particularly nasty. Brussels Sprouts are infinitely worse and go underhated as a food
Boomers can't cook them for shit
>>151333920They all taste good good with butter
>>151333920I love both broccoli and brussell sprouts. You just gotta cook them
>>151333931My mam was a boomer and she could serve up the tastiest Broccoli in the world
>>151333920Maybe because almost noone eats brussels, so you can't use that (not relatable).For me, it was spinach, it tasted awful. But before that is green peas and corn, oh Jeez, how I suffered with those.Now is a different story. I can eat them, but still hate them. Except for spinach maybe? I barely have eaten it outside of soup, so I can't tell.
>>151333920broccoli was a stand in for veggies in generalmost kids didnt like salads and stuff
broccoli tastes like heartburn. if you like that shit you're a freak.
>>151333920I have been more often baffled by Lima Beans being described as disgusting. Cartoons refusing to eat them.
it's a cultural thing
>>151334024Maybe because they suck
>>151333920I like roasted brussel sproutsI like spinach and arugula saladI like raw broccoliI didn't like any of them as a kid. I still don't really like cooked broccoli.
I only started to like cooked veggies when I started to have colitis problems. I can't even have a cold salad anymore. So now all my veggies need to be cooked. Over roasted cauliflower and skillet sautéed asparagus are more two favorites now.
>>151334019Yes, I’m a freak, the freakiest freak who ever freaked in Freaktown.
>>151333920Broccoli and Brussels sprouts are great, kid.
>>151333920They beat you up.
>>151335196>carnivore doesn't like vegetables therefore vegetables badamerica...
>>151335265>thinks omnivores are carnivoresamerica
>>151333920the world wars and 50s annihilated American palettes and they passed that down without thinking and turned a ton of people against a very good veggieso, worthless boomer garbage, as always
broccoli and brussels sprouts are good when cooked to softness and given a bit of seasoning and butter or cheeseBut so is literally everything else on earth so that's not a high bar
>>151335333I'm fine with straight raw broccoli tossed with lemon juice and salt
>>151333920Amerifats made veggies unappealing due to mass production, GMO and other chemicals they spray on their stuff, plus they can't cook for shit anyway, so of course no children in the 90s/00s was gonna like veggies. Later some regulations came and people started buying organic and learning how to actually cook so some burgers slowly came to like veggies again.
>>151333931Insulting your mother's cooking is just a thing you don't do, Anon. Go eat dirt and apologize to her.
If you need to cover something in salt, butter, and cheese to make it taste good, then it's simply shit.And that's the overwheming majority of vegetables, because the same people that made that god-awful food pyramid convinced the public vegetables are good for you, and haven't been able to accept the fact that it's not true.
>>151333920Can't explain it. It was a 90s thing. Like how Brussel sprouts and Sauerkraut hate was an 80s thing
>>151335272Dogs are carnivores. Yes they can digest some plant matter and theyre not as carnivorous as cats, but they have to have meat to live. They can't survive on plants like omivores can.
>>151335530My mom never fed me broccoli thoI don't even think I was a picky eater kid
>>151335791>posts a fat fuckNot helping your case here.
>>151333920People who can't appreciate veges are not human.
>>151335791Learn how to cook, fatty
>>151333920>doesn't like veges>doesn't like fruit>rather eat sugary & salty goyslop that turns you into a fat abomination You fat fucked weren't bullied enough.
>>151333920This episode actually got me to eat broccoli, and I still like broccoli to this day
>>151335988>You fat fuckedESL's weren't bullied enough
>>151335265>see humorous video>mind automatically goes to americansWe really do rule the world
>>151335938>Learn how to cook, fattyPlease, tell me, how do you make shit like broccoli and brussell sprouts taste good without adding shit to it that actually tastes good?And no, forcing yourself to keep eating it until you're not bothered by the taste anymore doesn't count.
>>151335988>saying that brussels sprouts are gross = saying that all fruits and vegetables are grossImpressive mental retardation.
>>151336150You stirfry or steam them. Add some seasoning & a little butter. That's it. They're great when cooked right.
>>151336306>seasoning & a little butterTell me you're pretending to be retarded.
>>151333920Apparently a lot of vegetables taste a lot better now than they did 30+ years ago plus as other people mentioned proper cooking can make a world of difference. But in terms of cartoons broccoli is an easy visual shorthand to set up a contrast between what kids want vs adults.
