What is wrong with brussel sprouts?!

[Muggle]

Everything even their name. Their name sounds so horrible. Listen to it. Eww.

Luckily, I have never eaten one of those foul balls of green crap in my life and I never will. Just the smell of them (raw and cooked) is enough to make me heave.

You have to eat them raw, that's the best.

I love the things!

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

Yeah I'm a supertaster. Supersmeller too, it seems, if there is such a term. It makes it impossible for me to enjoy alcoholic beverages. I like to cook with wine and beer, but drinking them is like drinking nail polish remover.

I did once get to eat some very delicious brussels sprouts, but alas, most of the time I find them startlingly bitter.

Hells yeah!

Roasted, toasted, steamed, stir fried, baked, sauteed, boiled, or fried, there are so many ways to cook them up and make them tasty. I only wish I had discovered the sprouts sooner. We didn't properly meet until a couple years ago. I envy the children who had mothers that cooked these heavenly creations for them.

My parents were crafty... They would give me sprouts and spinach as a reward for cleaning my toys away when I was little! I loved the things.

I like them. I made them for Christmas one year with a reduced balsamic glaze...delicious.

I hated them until last year! I cooked them this year with chestnuts and everyone commented on how delicious they were! DD likes them but DS doesn't!

I've gone off them quite a bit. I think it was two Christmases (is that even a word? ) ago that I made three roast dinners over the holiday period and had sprouts every time and I haven't fancied eating them since. I don't think they taste bitter at all though.
