I love brocolli. Always have, and I suspect I always will. How do YOU feel about brocolli?

First, I put some crushed garlic in boiling water. Next, I add a little baking soda. Then, I quickly cook the broccoli florets in the garlic-infused water. The baking soda helps the broccoli retain its bright green color.

VERY good call. Lemon juice pretty much on anything. The perfect salt substitute.

Steamed tender crisp with butter and salt.

OR

Steamed tender crisp, then sauteed in olive oil, garlic and shallots.

I voted 'other' because 'on anyone's plate but mine' wasn't an option in this poll.

Stir-fried with large quantities of thinly sliced beef, in a slightly sweet sauce, and then drizzled with soy sauce. Healthy, huh?

Broccoli is an acquired taste. I eat it but I can't say (other than fixed in the above manner) I enjoy it all that much.
