    I think it used to have to be cooked to hell because in the past it legitimately didn’t taste as good as it does now. Selective breeding has taken a lot of bitterness out of many vegetables.

      It got cooked to hell because most people can’t cook and that’s what they know. If anything broccoli tasted the better in the 80s, because it wasn’t as maximized for shipping.

      I don’t know, man, this was the 80s and 90s, it’s not that long ago. It still tastes like I remember if you overcook it.

          Yeah, no, it’s not that it isn’t enough time, it’s that I’ve been eating broccoli and beans all this time, I would have noticed.

          I mean, we all noticed the tomatoes becoming water balloons, it’s not like it’d be unheard of.
