Brussel Sprouts - good or bad or never tasted

[DigitalDave]

Just curious ...
I don't like them. (barf)

[TheObieOne3226]

Don't like, but will eat if served.

[DigitalDave]

[James_Potter]

they're okay...don't like 'em that much, but I'll eat 'em, because they're good for you, so you can grow big and strong, like popeye. except popeye ate spinach, but same difference.

[Chrashing]

Need a choice: I never tasted them, but know I don't like them.

Cut brussel sprouts in quarters and roast them on a baking tray with lots of garlic, salt, and pepper.

There yummy and one of the most super-vitamin-rich dark green veggies.

I've always loved brussel sprouts, even as a kid. Should I seek professional help?

Hahahaahha ...

this is getting interesting ...

[Murde Mental]

I like brussel sprouts... I like to think of them as cabbage shooters.

[oldfatboy]

love em, love em, love em ;)
Just steam or boil them and dig in.

[ProudYankee]

Is there a way to cook them to remove some of the bitter taste? I steamed them and smothered them with butter but they tasted awful.

Yo-yo food - you swallow them and they come back up.

Brussel sprouts are much better than mustard greens. While I still like mustard greens, they are quite bitter.

[totally_hooked]

ProudYankee, sprouts get really bitter after frost damage.

Personally, I love 'em :p

I've tried, I really have, but I just can't eat brussels without retching. Whether it's merely pyschological or whether they really are so hideous as to be automatically rejected by my cleverer-than-me throat I will never know...
