broccoli cuts or broccoli nubs?

Who ever thought of packaged frozen broccoli is a genuis.

Why?

 Because they package what they consider to be “broccoli cuts” in one bag for a reasonable price, OR you can get the florets only for more.

I propose they change the name from broccoli cuts to broccoli nubs. That’s what they are. Measely rejected broccoli stems, PROBABLY  related to their more expensive family member of florets.

I did however, get a tiny floret teaser. It’s taunting me, telling me I should have spent just a dollar or two more and I could be biting into some delicious florets instead of stabbing away at these damn nubs

  1. nubs are my favorite parts.
    when cooked correctly, ie. not mushed.

  2. My brother and I always had to make a federal case to my mom to implore her to dish out for the florets. It was a perpetual source of triumph and heartbreak.

    She also never understood why sometimes I would get oven-roasted turkey and other times smoked. “They’re all the same,” she would complain. Yes, mom, you’re right. It’s all a conspiracy to present the consumer Choice when there really is none =P
