 Broccoli is one of the worst smells in existence. 
 Most people would disagree 
 It definitely can be 
 I like broccoli.... you know what smells really terrible? Scheiße  - Ich hasse es.

 
 not often found in the kitchen however, gotta admit THAT much... 
 I guess it depends on who's kitchen. I have 3 different forms of broccoli in my kitchen right now. 
 you make it sound like you forked broccoli! 
 ... and i was talking about scheiße not being in the kitchen ahaha 
 Lmmfao 

That also depends on what kitchen you go to 
 there's "scary thought of the day!" lol 
 Along with Brussel sprouts. 
 that could have been my reply - WORD for WORD!!

Funnily enough i once wiki'd the reason for this... it TURNS OUT.. it's all about how you heat them! If you do it in water, probably like your mother did, it releases some sort of sulphur which is DISGUSTING. If you fry them however apparently they can be yummy

I say apparently... cos I AM NOT GOING NEAR THAT SHIT EVER! ahahaha 
 What about bin juice? 
 Durian is up there also 
 Broccoli I'm fine with. Durian and Jackfruit though...!

 haha 
 You never touched asparagus. 
 You never peeled salsify. 
 Really 
 Food is like weather: if it sucks, you just didn't prepare good 🤣

Nowadays we boil broccoli with some bouillon. The water can be used as a base for vegetable soup, and broccoli has extra good taste (and probably smell, didn't really pay attention to that 🤔)
