Since its debut in 1979, For Better or For Worse has touched comic strip readers as few cartoons ever do. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston’s eye for detail and her uncanny sense of what real parents and children struggle with daily are a big part of her success. The world has watched the Patterson family grow up in real time, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!
Parents and children alike will relate to the obstacles that the Patterson family faces. Curfews, parent date nights, babysitting, pets and distractions are all hurdles that the Pattersons must overcome in order to enjoy each other as a family. They face the same obstacles that real life families do, which is what makes them so loveable.

I loved broccoli when I was a kid, still do! The only thing I wouldn’t eat was black olives (and I still won’t).

Never had broccoli as a kid. Later( and very good ) discovery. Black olives-yes, green olives-no.

MMMM Calves’ liver and onions, mashed potatoes with gravy, and broccoli……when’s lunch gonna be ready?

I used to be able to get the kids I baby sat to eat broccoli by pretending we were giants and they were little trees to be felled. We’d yell “TIMBER” at the top of our lungs and then stuff them in our mouths laughing. It worked!

Broccoli by itself - no
Broccoli in a casserole, especially with cheese, oh yeah.

The longer you cook broccoli, the worse it tastes. Raw has almost no taste. We like liver too. Guess we are weird?

We all will always be picky over the foods that we like and dislike to eat. Of course we all do! :-]

broccoli is great with salt

Best way to make anything taste good is to be told you can’t have it/shouldn’t eat it or it’s bad for you.

I love broccoli with salt and butter. What I won’t eat is mushrooms, fungus isn’t fit for human consumption.

Oh my BALD, brussel sprouts are great lightly cooked, chilled and marinated in dill and vinegar!
And Macushlalondra, mushrooms are very GOOD for vitamins, health, etc. Of course, maybe you are young enough you don’t have to worry about that yet! LOL

mmmm, brussels sprouts are great the way we ate them in Britain: cut them in half. Heat a knob of sweet butter and a clove or two of crushed garlic till almost caramelized. Then sautee the sprouts till cooked as you like, add a little bit of sea salt and fresh lemon juice in the pan before serving, yummmmm…

I love brussel sprouts the same way as broccoli, with butter and salt. As for mushrooms they’re disgusting. Look at the color, the texture. Do they really contribute anything? Nooooo. Gross!
