They put it in a plastic bag and microwaved it. It would soak in melted ice and its own juices and come out mushy like it was boiled

Broccoli is just not a flavor I like. I've had it prepared in tons of different ways. I'll eat it, but I never feel a meal is improved by the presence of broccoli. Weirdly enough, I love most other cruciferous vegetables, except maybe cauliflower.

Broccoli in a stir fry dish is mandatory imo and I will die on that hill defending it.
