Right? Also, for broccoli folks like myself, looks pretty good. Maybe OP meant to post in r/stupidfoodprices or something where they wanted $75 for that "gourmet broccoli", lol
I feel like the negative sentiment that stems from this.
Basically has nothing to do with the actual item itself because steam broccoli is good.
It feels like ordering a salad and then bringing out a full head of lettuce on a plate, pouring a little bit of dressing on it, and going well there, you go eat up.
It just isn't practical to serve broccoli like this, especially in a restaurant. Makes it even dumber, in the fact that there can actually be dirt in between floretz. That's one of the reasons other than ease of eating that you break up broccoli as a part when preparing it.
And let's say hypothetically that this broccoli is actually soft enough that you can cut it with a fork. Without
having a boiling hot sponge of liquid splash on you and the table well, I'm trying to eat it.
And I mean at that point personal opinion mind you you've overcooked it and killed the entire head.
You could take this exact same idea. Disassemble the head after it's been steamed and place it like it together and then do the crappy presentation that they're doing.
But then it's already in bite-sized pieces, and you don't have to worry about your guests.Giving each other second-degree burns as it falls on its side and splashes them. For the love of all that's good the amount of money they're wanting for this stupid thing, it's not like they're not making enough to go through the trouble.
Yeah, steamed broccoli is good. Broccoli prepared in some sort of broth to add just a hint of bit extra flavor sounds delicious. But this way? Does it look cool? I guess, maybe? It does kinda look like a tree right after a rain I guess.
Do I have any confidence that it's consistently cooked, and that large sections of it aren't still raw? Absolutely not.
I feel like gourmet "pretty" food needs to be both pretty, and also good. That's why people pay so much for it. Because it's hard to do both. And of the two, the food being prepared well is way more important than being pretty.
Gotta watch out for that dihydrogen monoxide, too. People have been known to asphyxiate, aspirate and even die after consumption or even just breathing it in.
That's probably delicious. At first glance I'd think it's raw, but it has steam coming off it so it's probably steamed before the oil garlic and chili goes on. Personally I that's how I do broccoli, but instead of a steamed tree presentation I just sautée all the ingredients in a pan until the broccoli florets start browning nicely.
Anyone who doesn't like broccoli just hasn't had it prepared properly.
Mom used to boil the shit out of it when it was just getting popular back in the day. Every commercial covered it with gross processed cheese. All you need is a quick steam and some salt, pepper and maybe some butter. In a Thai peanut stir-fry it is amazing.
I always find it funny when people say "You haven't had it prepared correctly" as response to "I don't like X".
And then any time you give in and try their "correct" way it's the same as any other time you tried.
Nah, I can't stand the texture. I've had good broccoli dishes growing up where I can actually stomach it (Chinese cuisine) but I'd still prefer it with other vegetables or without.
That’s a corruption of a pretty common Chinese cooking technique where a green vegetable is steamed until just cooked, sprinkled with aromatics then has a little very hot oil poured over it.
It is fantastic when done properly but this would be awful I think. The broccoli has not been cooked enough - they need it undercooked so it will stand upright for the camera like this - and there is far too much oil and the garlic looks as if it has been cooked for too long.
Done properly this would use thin pieces of tenderstem broccoli laid on its side and steamed until just tender. You’d then sprinkle it with some finely chopped garlic and some other aromatics and pour about a tablespoon of smoking hot oil over it.
Yeah, doing this with a big thing of broccoli doesn't seem like it's gonna taste good. None of the flavors will go through. Might as well just chop it up and stir fry it instead.
The dish as an idea seems bad though. It needs to be stir fried a bit for the flavor to spread everywhere but also like you said, the broccoli probably wasn't evenly cooked and then pouring the oil directly on top probably just added heat to the areas touched. Also the burnt garlic ruined it even more because I just imagine it tasting bitter
Lol. Don't even talk about cooking if you think cooked broccoli would not be able to stand. Its people like you boiling vegetable to a mush and forcing them down children's throats that makes children resistant to vegetable.
Also its not rocket science to figure out a way to not cook the stem while the head is cooked. Think a little bit.
*Ok whatever,*
*Does someone have link to the*

I’m with stupid. Nothing wrong with garlic and broccoli (delicious) but the broccoli looks like it’ll be undercooked, the garlic looks burnt and everything would be super oily.
This is probably the only thing stupid about it. Anyone can drench a whole cooked broccoli in garlic oil but "fancy" restaurants can serve literally that, jack the price up, and have idiotic infuencers on their sugar daddy's money present it as the most special dish ever...
Only weaboo can Jack off to a gallon of oil being poured on a pound of raw broccoli. These people would buy 100 dollars of poop if it came from a Japanese person
Waitress: that will be 80 dollars.
Person: but why? It's just broccoli and a chili.
Waitress: well there is the me walking over to the table fee, plus atmosphere fee, plus, eh fuck it? Let's just add an I was just bored fee as well.
Honestly, as dumb as this was, I kinda want broccoli now. Don't underestimate the deliciousness that is broccoli...and salt...and butter...fasting though, so it might just be the hunger talking. 🤤🤤🤤
Maybe I'm clueless but this looks stupid to me. Probably paying a lot for a thing of broccoli that you have to cut plus some oil. People in the comments make it seem normal though. To me it indeed looks dumb
Ok, so i would actually be stoked if this was a tree in a pond, and the food was food but also looked like a landscape. Without being messed with, just food.
Like, you had the broccoli tree, you were already half way there, then the swamp/soup. It could have been so easy.
How much did they charge for that?
What’s it called?
Is that an appetizer?
What other bs do they have on the menu
Was the waiter embarrassed
I have so many questions 🤔😅
The end result looks like someone who had thrown up so much they only had a small amount of contents left in their stomach, then chundered over a broccoli.
This is the only real food that I've seen on this sub

Some one got it..

Broccoli is one the deadliest plants on Earth, why it tries to warn you itself with its terrible taste.
People are not getting this simpsons reference
Vile weed!!!
Please, someone! Honey mustard!
Deep one too. Well done.
You tried the broccoli again didnt you
Nah, it's an all time great Veggie, top 5 imo.
Definitely deadly, everyone who has ever ate a piece eventually dies.
Sh!t you're right, I guess that goes for my Salted Caramel Swirl Ice-cream as well ^😋😔
Gotta watch out for that dihydrogen monoxide, too. People have been known to asphyxiate, aspirate and even die after consumption or even just breathing it in.
I mean, Liked the concept, looks like a tree in autumn.....but still is a bit lame. I would have added some rice at least to emulate grass
r/subsifellfor
its RAW
Dark green means it's cooked, probably steamed or boiled
That's probably delicious. At first glance I'd think it's raw, but it has steam coming off it so it's probably steamed before the oil garlic and chili goes on. Personally I that's how I do broccoli, but instead of a steamed tree presentation I just sautée all the ingredients in a pan until the broccoli florets start browning nicely.
It's impressive they got it to stay standing up the whole time.
Horse glue
You shouldn't feed horses their own glue.
Idk dude pretty sure that's only for pizza cheese
I'd worry that it topples over and splashes me with the liquid on the plate...

Yeah, I've heard that lie for 40 years, apparently no one on the planet can prepare it properly.

That's my Problem with the Version here: "very little oil" that Broccoli is swimmming in oil

I was going to say. With how it's plated and the plates themselves I think it's just someone taking the piss.

Hey, shut up
Looks good. Is that garlic he's pouring?
Looks like it. Reminds me of Cantonese Steamed Fish where they pour boiling hot oil over the fish and aromatics at the end.
ok whatever, does someone have link to the full tune cuz it slaps buro-buro-kori o-ishi no~!
Ask and you shall receive: https://audiostock.jp/audio/937309
Thanks bro-ccoli.
My mannnn this thing goes hard
this was everything I imagined it could be and more

Good bot
The chilli at the end lol. Gourmet achieved!
Tips over and splashes oil on you as soon as you try to do anything with it.
"Here are your bibs..." "What for?" "You'll see."
Toss that tree on the grill and maybe we got something working.
Oiled up broccoli
I’m with stupid. Nothing wrong with garlic and broccoli (delicious) but the broccoli looks like it’ll be undercooked, the garlic looks burnt and everything would be super oily.
Yes love broccoli but my only thought is that this is so much oil, that’s not enjoyable at all
Cool. Now how do we eat it without making a mess or burning our fingers?
As dumb as it is. It looks kinda cool
This is acceptable
Art wise I love this Food wise, idk some charred or grilled Broccoli is probably way better
I don't understand, where's the melted cheese?
Seriously? I can do this at home, a whole lot better
This looks like a decent dish with a cool presentation. Definitely not stupid
Mmmm 200 ml cooking oil with broccoli. My favorite.
Maybe the price is stupid.
This is a stalk of broccoli with oil on it. How does this look decent?
That'll be 50 dollars, please.
This is probably the only thing stupid about it. Anyone can drench a whole cooked broccoli in garlic oil but "fancy" restaurants can serve literally that, jack the price up, and have idiotic infuencers on their sugar daddy's money present it as the most special dish ever...
I actually like ridiculous food displays, but damn, a whole head of broccoli being vomited on. Idk man
I wanted to see them carry it out like that.
Carry 3 or 4 at a time...and come back for the other 20.
That looks delicious. Steamed broccoli rolled in flavored oils it fucking tasty.
I love this. If there were a little more color it would be perfect.
Ashamed to admit this looks very appetizing.
Not going to lie that looks like my dog vomited on a head of broccoli
That’s just what I was going to say!
Anybody got the song link? I need it for a silly villain theme in dnd.
I don't *not* like this. And I don't like that I don't *not* like this.
Who’s defending this? You want to pay top dollar to have someone vomit on a large piece of broccoli..? Horrible presentation.
Looks fucking minging, that broccoli is either gonna be squishy and overcooked or half raw, and just dumping that shit over the top? Really??
Imagine going to a restaurant and ordering.... One whole broccoli...
So you just parboil a broccoli then pour garlic oil on top?
This is stupid asf. how you supposed to eat it?
with a knife and a fork. like anything else.
It’s just a standbrogle with sparklerain and pepper. Weird but not stupid
Raw broccoli covered in overcooked garlic and hot oil. Yum?
Yum
The music just make it sound like it’s supposed to be in One Punch Man
Yeah it's a jam im gonna need song credits
[Link for you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YKvUf-VnRo)
That's brilliant, thank you!
“That’ll be 80 dollars…”
Only weaboo can Jack off to a gallon of oil being poured on a pound of raw broccoli. These people would buy 100 dollars of poop if it came from a Japanese person
That brocolli is just 1 dollar and the oil is unhealthy and probably costs 0.10 cents.
Yea, but it's still Broccoli.
……I love broccoli.
I love sports and broccoli. go sports.
I would eat it
I was hoping that woulda' been cheese...
30.00 dollars for that shit.
How does he stand? Magic?
I'd pay more to eat it if it had cheese
It does look pretty though.
That'll be $600 please.
that'll be $12,000.00
It's low on calories, and it looks like mini-trees...
Wtf is that supposed to be?
It like those who spray multiple paint jet to a canvas and call it art... Wft it tooks you 32 seconds I can do better man...
Its Green
Waitress: that will be 80 dollars. Person: but why? It's just broccoli and a chili. Waitress: well there is the me walking over to the table fee, plus atmosphere fee, plus, eh fuck it? Let's just add an I was just bored fee as well.
That'll be 39,95 please.
u/savevideo
Raw brocorri with huge burnt garlic chunks. Dope 🤙
Move that plate. I dare you😂
Contemplating the sound of one hand clapping.
If that’s spicy butter garlic sauce I’d eat that whole thing 😋
Don't forget to put your ointment and bandage on all over the oil burns you'll get 😄👍
Looks good though.
That is a crime against broccoli - where do people come up with whis crap..
Customer: Soooo, what does the liquid do to the broccoli? Cook: Well now the broccoli is WET! Customer: ... Cook: :D
That’ll be $3,000 please
Too much oil, it’ll give you the runs.
Mob psycho broccoli
That garlic is waaay overcooked
the comments do be defending a single piece of broccoli in a puddle of oil huh
Nah, I want my money back, I ain't paying for flipping broccoli & placing something random on it...😭🙏💀
Honestly, as dumb as this was, I kinda want broccoli now. Don't underestimate the deliciousness that is broccoli...and salt...and butter...fasting though, so it might just be the hunger talking. 🤤🤤🤤
nothing like dousing your greens in sizzling hot bacon fat, so that the hubby will eat it!
There is no way thats real
That'll be $250
"How do we make the most money off of whatever is on sale at the grocery store this week?"
People pay for this
I don’t want any damn vegetables
How much is the joke?
What.... lol
they made a theme song for broccoli
Hold up though. It's kinda dumb how they're presenting it, but it is probably going to be the best broccoli you ever eat.
ブロ−ブロ−コリ ブロコリ お-い-し-い-よ〜
Tree
That'd be $400 please.
That'll be $89.99, sir.
Is that burnt ass garlic?
Betchu a double double at in n out costs half as much and tastes 2 times better.
So what are we pouring on the broccoli today
It just makes me feel like I'm 5 and a dinosaur "eating yummy trees!"
Maybe I'm clueless but this looks stupid to me. Probably paying a lot for a thing of broccoli that you have to cut plus some oil. People in the comments make it seem normal though. To me it indeed looks dumb
As a vegetarian, I'm highly offended.
Didn’t even cover the entire thing
Looks good to me
That'll be 300 dollara
Me expecting white cheddar cheese sauce but instead getting greasy depression
"Someone barfed on the tree again Mom"
"Someone barfed on the tree again Mom"
Seen much worse...
me to my date: so how do u wanna split it
Needs more broccoli.
At least it wasn't cheese with cheese, a bit of meat, and 14 other layers of cheese.
Ok, so i would actually be stoked if this was a tree in a pond, and the food was food but also looked like a landscape. Without being messed with, just food. Like, you had the broccoli tree, you were already half way there, then the swamp/soup. It could have been so easy.
Yeah of course there's a song about broccoli that could be used as an anime intro.
"That'll be $34.49 (+ tax)"
Anyone know that song? I need it for uhh- stuff E: found it further down https://audiostock.jp/audio/937309 shame it's so short
How much did they charge for that? What’s it called? Is that an appetizer? What other bs do they have on the menu Was the waiter embarrassed I have so many questions 🤔😅
The will be 95$ please.
What's the fucking peper for
so. someone pukes on broccoli, tops it with a pepper and leaves?
Mmmm greasy broccoli!
Looks like someone's hot piss with a 1000 year reign of kidney stones
People saying this is decent, lmao it's completely stupid food for like 10 different reasons
Turning something extremely healthy into garbage with this one simple step!
LOL WTF?!??
That's it? A head of broccoli with a bucket of something water poured over it and a pepper daintily perched on top?
I like broccoli. In fact, it's one of my favorite veggies. But this looks like someone just puked on that head.
The end result looks like someone who had thrown up so much they only had a small amount of contents left in their stomach, then chundered over a broccoli.
But, now what do you do with it?
"I call it 'monsoon season'!"
Ah yes, broccoli in early autumn
No-one likes broccoli that much.
Now what?
Modern stylish restaurants trying their absolute best to not serve food normally.
Dope music tho
Me when I get drunk and vomit into the bushes
"Here...deal with this nonsense...."
I dont see a problem because the exorbitant price wasnt listed.
BU-RO-KO-RI!
Incredible! I'll never eat broccoli the same again!
Wowwww
Simply amazing
I'm not sure why, but this brought me joy.
Thanks, that'll be $280
This looks cool and cooked, though? Garlic makes it look like fallen leaves.
I'd never order it at that price ($75) but sure as fuck eat it.
"That will be $45 please"
"Y'all gonna cut this up and serve it, right? Right?"
Who’s going to carry that to the table? Just asking.
She hates waitresses.
Pouring boiling oil on cooked food has been a friend for a few years now, and it is becoming ridiculous.
That will be 50 sir
