I'm in my early 30's, and have been enjoying broccoli for years now, after first having somewhat of an aversion like the OP. It is stupidly easy to prepare, always available, and cheap.
Got a question for you LapLap (if you see this thread after all these months): why do you smoke the olive oil?
I'm curious about your reasoning. If you tried that in my kitchen, I'd send you off tout de suite.
