The best thing that broccoli has going for it is that it's not cauliflower.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do you heat them up? Put them on toast? With scrambled eggs? Are they just the fish alternative to bacon or sausage or do they have some special presentation?
Butter is your food accesory for kippers. I usually stick them uder the grill with a load of butter. Some people just stick them in the microwave, some people fry them. Then I put them on toast. Mmm, kippers. I don't eat eggs, but I'd imagine if one did, they'd be pretty nice together.

then cooked it over slow heat with garlic and anchovy that had been browned in oil for about fifteen minutes. I don't know how that made it so delicious -- maybe it's the oil and garlic-- but DAYUM it was so much better than I expected.
We do this with cauliflower all the time- cook slowly with garlic and olive oil till it all sort of melts down, then toss with pasta. It's SO much better than you think it's going to be! Yum. We usually throw in hot pepper flakes instead of anchovy though. Anchovy *does* sound tasty though.

Huh, I've only ever had kippers cold on crackers, straight out of the tin. I'll have to try this "heating up" business.

We have a YUM recipe for cauliflower in and Indian style with garlic and ginger. It is sort of nutty and buttery and warm-spicy (not hot-spicy) tasting.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I put in some hot pepper flakes too!
You know, I think broccoli is on the supertaster list. So it may be the case that reasonable minds can differ.

The romanescu broccoli seems to be milder. Or it could have just been extremely fresh what with being a farmers market purchase.

Best way to eat cauliflower -- steam until very very tender (some would say mooshy), then throw in a food processor with milk/cream/butter/sour cream, and perhaps some garlic or your seasoning of choice, and process until very creamy. With the seasoning, it's virtually indistinguishable from mashed (actually, whipped) potatoes.
And quite tasty.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, definitely.
