    Look at Mr Moneybags over here who can afford broccolini!

    No but that’s a tasty, hearty and most importantly easy breakfast. I am pondering what to do with my tinned cod liver and apparently it goes nicely in egg salad.

      A bunch was on special for 2.80 at Woolies, impulse bought it 🤷‍♂️ can’t imagine a much easier, tastier or healthier meal

        Worse things have been impulse bought for $2.80.

        Broccolini is the shiznits though, even if I’m still salty that they can charge more for it than its parents (broccoli and kai lan).

        Shit, now I have a craving for broccolini …

            I’ve gone down a rabbit hole trying to find how one can grow them in a home garden and the seeds are definitely not as readily available… I’m tempted to splurge on this packet here and distribute it to various friends and see if by our gardening powers combined we can break the retail stronghold on outrageous broccolini prices.

          I’m on broccoli’s side. I look at broccolini and think you poor skinny, limp substitute but broccoli is like lush and I look for the purple bits. Plus when you cook broccoli right magic happens in your mouth.
