What do you like on your broccoli?
It is a subliminal message technique, a word that the majority of the population since early childhood has been trained to ignore (and, of course, trained to forget both the training and the fact that they are ignoring it), but which they associate with a vague sense of unease. Upon seeing the word, readers experience a panic reaction. They then subconsciously suppress all memories of having seen the word, but the sense of panic remains. They therefore associate the unease with the news story they are reading. Fnords are scattered liberally in the text of newspapers and magazines, causing fear and anxiety in those following current events. However, there are no fnords in the advertisements, thus encouraging a consumerist society. Fnord magazine equated the fnords with a generalized effort to control and brainwash the populace. To "see the fnords" would imply an attempt to wrestle back individual autonomy, similar to the idea of reading between the lines, especially since the word fnord was actually said to appear between regular lines of text.

Dang. I was hoping to be around when this came up. Now I don't get to do my bit where I act like I can't see it. I was really looking forward to swearing up and down there were only four options.

I have no idea what ranch is but I don't like broccoli at all. I eat it because it's healthy. Usually it's on the plate with random foods.

I <3 broccoli! I'll eat it raw with a little salad dressing, cooked with cheese and rice, steamed with a little salt n' pepper with a bit of butter, in a casserole that my aunt gave me the recipe for, or marinated and sautéed in teriyaki sauce. This topic is making me hungry... time to go.

The only way I like them is battered up and deep fried

not a big fun of broccoli, but if i have to eat them, with cheese, cheese fits to everything anyway

I'd rather not eat broccoli at all, but if I have to, I guess cheese would make it more-or-less edible.

When I hear about broccoli, it always brings in my mind the Arnold's Pizza prank call.

As strange as it may seem but I have never eaten broccoli in my entire life.

hands down the best way to eat broccoli (try it if you are curious)
do a quick stir fry of it with a little butter and water in a covered pan... cook until its tender but still a little firm.
drain liquids, add more butter, add some lemon juice, a pinch of red pepper flake and sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese... toss it around good so everything is coated.
total yum.

Never had any problems eating broccolis as a child. I would imagine myself as a giant destroying and eating trees :D

I have never eaten broccoli in my whole life and I'd like it to stay that way.

So, a topic of critical importance was raised in another thread. How do you like your broccoli?
I understand it's a difficult choice, so if you need to contemplate I'll provide some thinking music.
