I don’t remember ever seeing broccoli or any related vegetable on the table as a kid. This was the 1950s in northern Illinois, most fruits and vegetables came out of cans. Late summer roadside stands had sweet corn, apples, watermelon, rhubarb, grapes, etc. Dad’s company would give everyone a box of citrus for the holidays.
