The rolls are sticking together and unrolling when I pick them up. Chaos!

So those would be "Loki rolls" then?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I mean, I wish I liked broccoli, as it is one of those mega-good-for-you veggies, but it literally makes me gag.

The trees AND the stems?

Because when sitting small children I find most can tolerate one or the other.

With the trees it's all in the flavor; with the stems, it's the texture AND the flavor. If it's basically ground up and in something (like a stuffing for chicken breasts), I don't gag, but I can taste it and I don't like it at all. I can even taste it if I eat just the beef in beef & brocolli, because the flavor's worked it's way into the sauce.

Does raw or cooked make a difference? Overcooked broccoli can kill at twenty paces, but when I was a kid, cooked at all made me choke.

Though come to think of it, I don't think I liked any vegetables cooked then.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sounds like you're a supertaster, Frank.

Cooked is definitely worse, but, like cauliflower I dislike raw intensly as well. I'm definitely down on a lot of cooked veggies that I do like raw, though (carrots, for instance).

Do the permutations of that phenom vary from person to person? Because there are a lot of pungent vegatables that I do like - peppers (bell types and hotter varieties), for instance, and all the lillies (garlic, leeks, onions, etc.). I know my first encounter with salsa that had fresh cilantro had a "who put the dish soap in the salsa" component, but I've since come to like the taste (it no longer tastes soapy to me).

I like broccoli.
