Botanically, Broccoli belongs to the cabbage family which is collectively known as cruciferous vegetables. It’s also closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. It’s Italian name Broccolo, means, “cabbage sprout.”
President George Herbert Walker Bush’s war on broccoli is still talked about. On March 22, 1990, he told members of the press (to quote the New York Times) “I don’t like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli!” The president never ever wanted to see another sprig of broccoli on his plate, whether he was on Air Force One or at the White House or anywhere else in the land.
