Is the brocoli we eat today the same as they were eating when this cliché came about?

Good point. We've cultivated several vegetables to become less bitter over the decades and children are more sensitive to bitter taste than adults.

I imagine you licking things like batteries that are coated with that super bitter compound, that is supposed to prevent kids sticking it in their mouth

Broccoli was one of the few vegetables I liked as a child. It’s tasted the same for the last 30+ years as far as I can tell.

No. We roast fresh veggies and add salt and pepper today. Everyone steamed plain frozen vegetables with freezer burn back then.
