sorry you still have to eat your broccoli
It's ok if I toss out the long stems and just eat the flowery bits, right? Also, in case you were wondering, Black Beauty grapes = teh yum.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Gods yes. The stems are an awful lot like tree branches. The florettes are the good for eating part.

I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. Is "as short as possible while still looking professional" descriptive enough?

I'm a whackjob. I like the stems. The florettes have a weird mouthfeel to me.

I like them both! The florettes are excellent dip vectors and the stems are good handles. And I make a dish with broccoli and cheddar where the stems come out tender as baked apples and tasting like cheese.

Makes a note to cook Barb a nice tree twig and bark gratin, should we chance to meet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like the stems, too, the florets are not as tasty. But I definitely prefer them cooked.

Anything's better with cheese!

I like them both. I will often pare down the stem with a vegetable peeler because that outer layer is so tough.
Fun quick dinner tonight. Seared a cod fillet (my favorite fish), then sauteed some tomato, kalamata olives and capers with some shallots and garlic. Put the fillet back in the pan, then in the oven for 5 minutes on 400 degrees. Served it over couscous. Yummy, quick and filling.
