What is wrong with brussel sprouts?!

[Second Summer]

Aery says brussel sprouts haters complain that they taste bitter! Is that what's supposedly wrong with it?

 

[kibbleforlola]

Brussels Sprouts are effing delicious, I don't know what your talking about.

 

[AeryFairy]

I love the things!

But this is what I was talking about: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/articles/senses/supertaster.shtml

Nothing at all. They are delicious! & nutritious.

I love them (cooked) and cold. I ate a whole dish out of the fridge on Christmas Day night....

 

[beancounter]

Yea, they are a little bitter, but they still taste good.

The are amazing little balls of deliciousness. I don't think I could ever get sick of the sprouts.

I think that's my husband because he hates the taste of most vegetables, especially brussel sprouts.

 

[ledboots]

Ugh I can't stand them! It is not so much the bitterness, but they smell and taste like rotten vegetables to me. O yuck. I love broccoli and cauliflower though.

I've always treated sprouts as medicine; cooked ones; although I like them a little, if they are raw.

They are a most amazing vegetable. My favorite way to prepare them is to lightly steam them, toss them with a little margarine, lemon juice and salt.

I may love them even more than asparagus.

I always hear this about eggplant too. A bunch of rubbish suggesting you need to go through some procedure involving salt to get the bitter taste out of it. I say 'Bollocks! Let's saute and EAT it. "

Brussels rock btw.

I hated them until I started roasting them. Now I can't get enough. SO DELICIOUS.

My favorite way to eat them. In fact, I may have some tonight!

My dad does AWESOME curried sprouts. They are one of my favourite vegetables (the other is parsnip).

Also good roasted, or just plain ol' steamed (and then the left overs for bubble n squeak!).

Brussels sprouts are evil vile creations of nature that should be abolished at our first convenience. The smell alone could surely be harnessed for some sort of biological weapon. That they are considered a traditional "Christmas" food here is a sign of all that is wrong with England.

Ewwwww.

 

[Mr Crunchy]

There is nothing I like about them; my least-favorite vegetable of all time. I can't even stand being in the same room as them. I only wish I could have checked "all of the above" in the poll.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

Nothing unless they are cooked badly.

 

[beanstew]

I love them. One of the best things about winter is sprouts being in season. I have them at least weekly for as long as they are available.

 

[Mel]

Absolutely nothing, unless overcooked. Then, they become a vile, mushy, and bitter mess.
