Broccoli is good when prepared correctly, terrible when not.  I feel bad for those with parents who can not properly cook broccoli.

Yes, it does well with nice flavouring, and is a delicious healthy side for a nice steak :)

It's been a rumor for a year or two, but I don't think it was ever actually "confirmed"
