Awkward Coworker: I have a question for you.
Sam: Shoot.
Awkward Coworker: What...is...

Now, most of the actual business-of-work that he and I talk about centers around either the database we use or Things I Know About The Building That He Doesn't. So I was in no way expecting:

Awkward Coworker: ...the deal with quinoa?

Bless his heart. That's the first time I've laughed in days.

(For the record, he discovered you can't use quinoa in place of couscous, and I informed him that quinoa is not actually edible, it's a trick.)

I'm sorry, Sam, but broccoli is the best of all possible foods, as long as you cook it properly. Unless you do something crazy like put cheese on it. The refectory staff think I am very strange because of the way my face lights up if they have broccoli and cauliflower available. Om nom nom nom nom!

I deny that there is any way to cook broccoli that does not make it taste like spongy grass. Cheese cannot rescue it. It's broccoli.

Cheese is about the only thing that can destroy it! It's really nice with sliced almonds scattered over it...

The hotel I was at in Frankfurt a few weeks ago did manage to ruin it, though. It tasted like they had cooked it in brine or something - it was crazy salty! I still ate it, because hello, broccoli, but I didn't enjoy it.

Om nom nom. (http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/maeritrae/2207904/18073/original.jpg) Though admittedly it looks less delicious there than it did in real life. I blame the flash.
