   • 1994, Karol V. Menzi, "Like it or not, mom was right about broccoli", The Baltimore Sun, 13 April 1994:

     She uses the stems, not the flowers. She trims the stems and peels them if they're tough, then grates them and mixes them with raisins, grated carrots and mayonnaise. If she's feeling adventurous, she says, she tosses in a little curry powder to spice up the dish. "This doesn't taste so 'broccoloid.'"

   • 1997, Ted Kleine, "Small-Scale Attack", Chicago Reader, 11 September 1997:

     As the armies are set out on the table, which is covered in the same crumbly grass and broccoloid trees used to decorate model-railroad scenes, Read is getting nervous.
