So today I was chopping broccoli and thinking, "There has to be a faster way." I have in the past picked up good tips on the internet, for example Jamie Oliver's video on how to chop vegetables quickly and safely (hold the vegetable in a knuckled under position instead of with your fingers poking straight out, and push the vegetable along as you chop). So I turned to youtube once more, and typed in "chopping broccoli".
And stumbled on this little nugget.
Addendum: With regards to chopping broccoli, I reckon there's no easier way to do it than the way I always have been, which is to cut off the florets one by one in roughly equal pieces so it all takes the same amount of time to cook. One possibility I have encountered is plucking the florets off, but then you still need to trim them, so it seems to all even out in the end.

they are, each, in the middle of one's face and one's character - one has to begin too far back.'
