Fun Fact, if broccoli kinda tastes like soap to you, congratulations! You have a gene variation that makes certain bitter flavors taste like soap, it’s stronger in childhood (which is potentially why “Kids hate broccoli” trope is a thing) and tends to fade into adulthood, but not always.
There are also studies being done to figure out specifically which compounds in broccoli make it taste like that to cultivate it out to encourage more broccoli consumption

Glad to see some scientific stuff under a “I would fuck his mom for serving broccoli” content.
I hate having this gene variant, so many things taste bad. People judge you, it’s hard to order at restaurants, etc.
