I don't cook broccoli, I cut off the floweretts and marinate them in
salad dressing. I remove the tough outer parts of the thick stems
with a vegetable peeler... the inner portion is good as is or with a
bit of salad dressing... I do the same with cauliflower. I much
prefer marinated or pickled... like making cabbage into slaw/kraut. My
favorite fresh veggie is Kirby cukes fermented into garlic dills. The
main reason for our vegetable garden is its source of fresh veggies,
it's really not possible to get fresh picked any other way. Most
people have never tasted fresh picked produce... they prepare their
salad from the months old compost out of a plastic bag. I promise
yoose, if you tossed that moulded chem bathed shit out of a plastic
bag into your yard the critters wouldn't eat any... the Netherland
bunnies wouldn't even sniff any.
