My household hates broccoli but I love it they are apart of the cabbage family.
I love broccoli!  I thought it was a gmo of cauliflower but I could be wrong.
No it is apart of the cabbage family the large flower head is what is to be eaten I like mines boiled and fried how about you?
My favourite is tempura but I'll eat it any way even raw.  I grew broccoli before and it had tiny yellow flowers which was not the part we typically eat.
I can't eat it raw my mother likes it like that with some fresh ranch it's to bland for me and I never had it in tempura only my sushi with shrimp and rice lol.
You should try tempura broccoli, eggplant, and sweet potato are also amazing tempura.  What is your favorite way to eat broccoli?
I love sweet potatoes it is so good and starchy I'm a fan or starch lol and I like mines boiled and fried red lobsters have great fried broccoli. 
I've never heard of red lobster doing fried broccoli? Anything else you recommend on their menu?
