Sounds awesome. You thinking a soy/oyster sauce/hoisin kind of flavor profile?

We're all nerds of some kind here. I'll wear my Broccoli Nerd badge proudly. *pushes glasses up nose*

... We have got to make a TV show out of this thread. It'd be so amazing. But what shall it be called, and what type of show shall it be?
Game show, "TERRISUS AND THE BROCCOLI QUIZ."
Probably. Either that or I'm gonna be lazy and make a cheddar cheese sauce or something, haha

Love me some broccoli. Steamed, sauteed, whatever.
I like to sautee mine in some butter with a bit of garlic and seasoned salt. Hnnnnnng.

Just so long as you don't do hoisin and cheddar, I can't imagine that would be good at all.

there's so much broccoli going on in my kitchen right now
I'm kidding, though the specific suggestion made me chuckle. I came in this thread for a reason.
I like my broccoli any way but fresh.

made about 2 quarts of brocc soup for tomorrow.
working on chicken brocc alfredo for dinner tonight
That is an amazing-looking soup. Kudos. You can really just stare into it forever and meditate on the swirls on its surface.
BTW, how are you planning to make the alfredo?

I have my own variation that I usually use.
I dip my chicken into flour and pan fry it, then I make my sauce starting with a roux and add my cream slowly, let it simmer, then add the cheese pretty much at the end. While the sauce cooks I drop the brocc into boiling water to steam it real quick, then take a saute pan and toss a serving of sauce, pasta, brocc, and chicken into it til it's nice and hot, then dump it on a plate.

terrisus is the new Nietzsche. I knew it. Did you know Nietzsche actually loved broccoli?
Sounds amazing! Freaky Fred, are you related to this chap?
Yesss! Sautee it with a bit of garlic. And/or use as a pizza topping!

Harvest Moon Back to Nature is one of my favorite games of all time, and it's mostly because of
I know that's the N64 game, but same thing
Yeah, Karen was always my choice of wife as a young child. Now there's an odd sentence for you. I really enjoyed the cooking in those games. Loved 64, BTN and FOMT, maybe BTN > 64 (which was my first foray into the series) but OTOH the loading screens in BTN were brutal, especially the initial loading screen.

wut.
I always completely ignored that girl. She probably hates broccoli too. I bet she sits in the library tearing up any book that even mentions broccoli's mysterious powers.
The two best girls in the series are Karen in BTN and Ann in SNES. This is not debatable.
let's get back to the broccoli though

Weird, was the disappointingly content-light HM GBC the only one with broccoli seeds? :-/

Still think this is so sad. One day you'll get to go back in time and play it as a kid. If it makes you feel better I was playing it hard enough for the both of us.
I'll agree on the first statement, since HM64 is pretty comparable to BTN, but did you play FOMT? Pretty much best of both worlds there.
Hahah. *sniffles* (I'm sorry I'm thinking about cats again.)
Mashing, interesting. Like mashed potatoes?
Looks stupendous from where I'm sitting!

FoMT is the best portable HM, but overall I prefer HM64.
They serve as nice complements to each other though - HM64 for when one is at home, and FoMT for when one is out and about.

I know maxc likes to see pics of broccoli, so here's what I ate tonight
Terry, you could just get a vita and play BTN at home or on the go.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't really get to play it as a kid.
I turned 17 a couple of weeks after the game was released in the US.
So, well, I suppose still a bit over a year of being "a kid," but nonetheless.

Finally!
See, I'm not the only one :þ
Yeah, I literally can't get myself to swallow it. I just gag and choke on it.
Nice! I'm guessing you didn't eat those two foods together.
Wow. That looks REALLY good

Good Eats is on the cooking channel featuring broccoli.
vatstep
This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
No, but I enjoy both so much that I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of eating them concurrently. No mouth-mixing, though.
Check you out, living on the culinary edge. Riding that palate superhighway!

Mmm, Promotion Broccoli. Easily the best of all Broccoli.
But seriously, I want it all. If only all broccoli was like that. Oh, and you're mistaken if you believe that Terrisus likes broccoli. Either that, or he's in a Broccoli Closet of sorts.
Also, that's the scariest broccoli mascot i've ever saw, and by a long way.
haha I know right? He's supposed to look happy and joyful, but it ends up looking kinda like this :
And to be fair, this was taken in an organic grocery store pretty popular in France, so I do think they still gotta be tasty (even though there's a special deal going on)!
and I also wanted to dedicate it to terrisus to be consistent with the (joke) thread title
