eating broccoli won't hurt me either, but that doesn't mean that i want to eat broccoli, or that i should want to eat broccoli, or that i am afraid of broccoli (or my inner vegetarian) because i choose not to eat broccoli. that whole line of argument has always seemed silly to me.

i guess the pain of rejection is making you strike out blindly.
But, the question is, have you ever tasted broccoli?

no, and i have no desire to - even 'fun size' broccoli, which i guess would be broccolini. i'm not even curious about broccoli. i guess some people just wake up one morning during their adolescence and think 'hey, i just realised i like broccoli'. but i'm not one of those people.

How do you know you don't like broccoli if you have not tasted it?

Is it because someone told you that broccoli is bad for your health?

broccoli just isn't appetising to me, although it obviously has its fans. compare broccoli to the pizza that is heterosexual love. pizza looks good, smells good, it's just obvious right away that it's going to be good to eat. broccoli, on the other hand, just doesn't - at least to me. if your next question is about broccoli pizza, no i don't find that appealing either.

Actually, I was about to tell you that pizza is good for your health only depending on what it has on top. Pizza is a vehicle, like hamburgers.

Let me know when you know 100% for sure that you don't like broccoli. That is, after you taste it.

They all do.

Anyhoo... let's make an exercise: would you taste just the tip of a broccoli if you were given 1 million euros in exchange?

no. i'm not interested in broccoli on either an amateur or professional basis.

it shouldn't be surprising that most of the population likes pizza not broccoli, as the propagation of the species depends upon it. a population with high percentage of broccoli-lovers would probably die out pretty quickly. in fact, from an evolutionary perspective, it seems hard to explain why there are any broccoli lovers at all.

What about 5 million euros for just licking a broccoli?

no, i'm not interested in interacting gastronomically with either broccoli or pizza in exchange for financial reward, no matter how large.

Do you mean the amount of cash or the length of the broccoli?

Edit. Just out of curiosity: have you ever tasted pizza?

more to the point: have you? perhaps if you did, you'd forget this obsession with broccoli.
