Mmmm, I actually like broccoli. Just not raw.

You know what's great? Fresh vegetables from your garden... we have sugar snap peas right now.

Yummy nummies.

Are you kidding?!?? Broccoli is my favorite, raw or cooked. Just no cheese on top... my mom did that when I was a kid and I hated it.

You know, it's weird, but I really dislike steamed or cooked broccoli, and when you throw cheese into the mix it just becomes disgusting (to me). But I like to munch on it raw. Go figure.

i like most veggies except broccoli i dont like it in any way cooked,steamed raw, bleah might as well just eat califlower which is also nasty.

In biology freshman year, we learned about certain reccessive genes that make the tongue supersensitive to a chemical in broccoli that makes it taste absolutely disgusting when magnified.

It turns out that I have those genes :D

^ That seems rather suspect, since what tastes good tends to be what you've been exposed to, what you normally eat, etc; hence, the "anomaly" of people liking a hamburger, and maybe hating ramen noodles (Hey, I like both, but it's just an example).

Aside from the bacteria making it unsanitary and whatnot, hypothetically, someone could think that human shit tastes absolutely fabulous (of course it would depend on what that person ate beforehand... ew).

Either way, I would be interested to read the text from which you got this little tidbit of info.

I like to eat my vegetables, too! But I did hear about how some people taste them more than others...

I will pretty much eat any vegetable. Preferably raw, but cooked works too.

GP - After reading the broccoli post you were refering to, I went and looked it up online. Despite my love for veggies, eating raw broccoli makes me gag, no matter what. I don't thing I could swallow it to save my life. I found a couple articles about it -

That was one of the better ones.

I dunno if you copied the link wrong, or if blogger showed it improperly... but try as I might, the link did not lead anywhere besides a blank NY times page.

(Who are you...)

^I'm a supertaster :D
Which means there are plenty of jobs for me in the food science industry.
My life is pretty much made.

That was in response to the article.
You have to copy the first line of it, then add the second line, then add the third line to the url so it looks like

Ah, very interesting.

You learn something new every day, I suppose.
