Day 207: Can Someone Explain Broccoli Rabe to Me?

This is a tough week at work and I can definitely use a little extra brain power so I had fish for dinner tonight.  The Balboa Cafe really knows what they're doing with a salmon fillet - crispy on the outside, soft and perfectly cooked inside.  I love it and order it anytime it's on the menu.

The salmon itself is always so good that I hardly even care what it's served with - except on nights like tonight when it's broccoli rabe.  Can someone please explain this vegetable to me?  I've tried it so many times in so many restaurants and I always find it bitter and never enjoy it.  There are few things in this world that I can't stand to eat, but broccoli rabe is on that list for sure.  I find this particularly odd considering how much I love broccoli.

What am I missing here??
