    I never minded them as a kid but they weren’t the best. The newer varities are quite nice. Love them roasted or broiled!

      We’ve been deep-frying them with pumpkin seeds. Add dried cranberries, goat cheese, and a vinaigrette… I am drooling just typing this

    And it still tastes fucking awful. Yes, I’ve had them roasted, yes from great kitchens.

    No, they’re not tasty.

    “No, these are less shitty.”

    They’re still shitty, just less.

      As I understand, there’s some genetic invariant, which makes them taste like literal shit to some folks. I think, the same is then true for broccoli and presumably other brassica cultivars…

    I’ve only ever had the modern version. Not really a fan. I suspect I would’ve preferred the more bitter variety.
