like broccoli. I eat a lot of asian style food so the vegetables are usually stir fried. Means the vegetables are softened but not a soggy mess. brussel(?) sprouts I like. don't like Mediterranean style vegetables and egg plant sits in that group IMO. Artichokes and so on. things that need to be pickled or oiled. no thanks.

Seen that you spin on your head compared to the majority of us, you can be forgiven for liking brussel sprouts!

I love broccoli. Especially with rice. One of my favorite quick meals is to cook rice, broccoli, and sausage together in one pot. A one pot delicious meal.
I'm pretty sure almost all foods we eat are the result of selective breeding by humans.
Cattle and poultry, eggs, most common fruits, various vegetables, etc.
Chickens wouldn't naturally lay a huge egg every single day without intensive breeding, for example. Tomatoes wouldn't be so huge. Apples wouldn't be so large and sweet. Corn wouldn't be around as we know it.
The bigger question is, what common foods do we have which haven't undergone intensive changes from selective breeding? Maybe seafood?
