Broccoli is supposed to taste good. Steam it, cool it down, then put olive oil on it.

The reason it is such a recurring theme is that broccoli and sprouts were cultivated to taste good over time. In the recent past, they had a more bitter taste which lead to some generations disliking them.

Also that in the recent past, people didn't know how to cook.

I grew up with my parents serving me bland and mushy broccoli, and I hated it.

Now I cook broccoli oven roasted, or pan-cooked and slightly blackened, tossed in olive oil, seasoned well with salt and pepper. Maybe soy and garlic instead if I'm feeling it. Always al-dente and absolutely fucking delicious.

If I cooked broccoli the way my parents used to, it would still taste like shit - genetically sweeter or not.
