Bubblegum-tasting broccoli would be worse than regular broccoli, I think. I'd be willing to try it though, maybe with the magic of crispr it'll happen some day.

I do like those cotton candy grapes, and I know some people that despise them

It only made it to the testing phase, but best as I can tell in was a real thing.

Oh, weird. I thought Bubba meant that McDonald's had tried parm + butter, not that they had tried bubblegum broccoli, but it was a real thing 🤯

Yo, I went to this burger place that had deep-fried vegetables. Including broccoli. I mean it wasn't healthy but it tasted pretty good.

That does sound good.

I don't like broccoli. For most foods either slathering it in cheese sauce or deep frying will bypass any dislike I have but cheese sauce did not work. Im thinking maybe I need it breaded, fried, and covered in cheese sauce.

You could try chopping it up and mixing it in with something. Like, putting it in a chicken pot pie.

I doubt that would work. My wife just had a thing with it finally chopped up in a cheese sauce and with other things I like so it was bit like that without a pie of course and I still found it ruined the taste. I mean don't get me wrong. Im an adult and can eat it and did eat that but I simply don't like it.

Pretty interesting, guess you just don't like it. My cousin's kid is like that with lettuce, they'll eat any other vegetable but for some reason they just don't like any kind of lettuce.
