Brussel Sprouts Are Actually Delicious

[kcghost]

Brussel Sprouts is a French word for projectile vomiting.

This thread is waaaay too controversial.

I'm not commenting on brussel sprouts.

Some people don't like any vegetables at all. Some people just hate a few. I really like nearly all vegetables.

I guess my parents didn't push them at me, and when I was hungry, they helped feed the hunger. It does help

to have roast pork and mashed potatoes with them, yes. Or steak, or black bass, etc. My wife roasts a variety

of vegetables, including Brussel sprouts, turnips, rutabagas, broccoli, squash, etc. That little carmelized edge

really makes them tasty. She grew up in remote farm country but spent her life in Greenwich Village, so she

does fusion cooking, farm and international. Mighty fine.

Good bump Cortez. Thanks.

They are indeed good, but the last time I ate any, I ended up in the hospital for emergency surgery! That's a story for another time though! Oh by the way, the same thing happened with kraut and weenies!

I was pretty cynical in my first response to Kevin's post, but I gotta admit, this method makes a yucky food delightful!

...and I didn't get gas -- which those sorts of veggies usually give me.

Brussel Sprouts are awesome... that's all I'm gonna say.

Funny seeing these old threads come up again. A lot of members posted that I haven't heard from in years. RIP for Hilojohnny. Many great posts from him back in the day ...

I happen to live in the middle of Brussel-sprout-country here and we've just had our first night of frost. We sprout-lovers anticipate this event with great expectation because finally, those Brussel sprouts are as sweet as they should be. Either in a course mash with pan-fried potatoes or on their own with some kind of decently marbled pork, those sprouts are a thing to look forward to. An onion should be always be there, IMO.

With almost 30 yrs as a white table Chef, I'm the one with the adventurous palate in my home. I love brussel sprouts and that roasted method is wonderful. Unfortunately can't sell them to the rest of the family. Another veg on the sharp/savory profile broccoli rabe pares well with pork. As I said if I prepare them they're all mine!

Just as well.
