Page says "Broccoli's family developed the hybrid food plant by the same name." I don't see anything in the article Broccoli about this. Can someone clarify how the Broccolis (family & plant) relate? Else I'm afraid this sentence will have to go-- Elf | Talk 19:10, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
It is absolutely absurd to suggest that this man's family invented broccoli which has been around for centuries and comes from latin, not from a familial surname. Broccoli's family did not bring the first broccoli seeds to the United States anymore than did John Bean's family bring the first beans to Britain. This is a silly legend that will continually be re-added to this article probably for the rest of time.Heruka2006 07:19, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

- Support. It's what I know of him as, and it gets more Google hits. (Plus quite a few of the "Cubby Broccoli" Google hits are for "Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli" anyway.) Proteus (Talk) 10:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'd prefer just Albert Broccoli (I get more hits for that than Albert R., for what it's worth) but either would be better than Cubby.--Cherry blossom tree 23:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
