Broccoli is like green tofu. It tastes like whatever you cook it in. There is perhaps no other food which has more surface area for holding sauce or seasoning.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie
vegetables in general and tasting bad is moreso lack of preparation/cooking rather than the actual thing itself most of the time. Brusselsprouts is the polarizing one where its seen the most.
Brussel sprouts are so easy to make good as well, just put them in the oven at like 400 with some oil and a bit of salt

I hated broccoli as a kid and I still hate it as an adult. It tastes the way farts smell. 🤮
If you ever feel like giving it another go, try roasting it up with the florets coated in some olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and a bit of smoky paprika if you've got it around
I guarantee it'll at least be the best version you've had
Found my dinner tonight. Thanks!

My theory on this is that some of the hate for a lot of vegetables comes from either eating canned ones or poorly cooked ones. My girlfriend didn't know she liked green beans until she started living with my family and my father made her some. My dad sautéed the in butter with garlic, and she only had ever had those extremely mushy canned ones and had concluded on that basis she hated green beans.
Nice to read about a person that so appreciated the kindness of another that they were willing to extend a kindness to them
Honestly, I would be suspicious of any kid who doesn't like eating miniature trees.
