Shock me? nah not much shocks me these days. Your combination of foods is interesting, but then I also like peanut butter, mayo and dill pickle sandwiches.

Jeffers, try this, next time you boil the sprouts as normal, take a few flaked almonds and give them about 2mins in a frying pan with some butter till golden brown, then serve sprinkled over the sprouts.
Sprout soup is mucho tasty as well, again with the almonds.
(Google cream of brussels soup)

I've loved them since I was a kid -- along with most other vegetables.

At the same time, I love MEAT -- "all-encompassingly," as Mitch Hedberg would say.

So what about you?

When you're a kid you learn that, of all the vegetables in your garden, brussels sprouts fit neatly into slingshots and they don't deconstruct until they've lande on target.

I stand corrected.

You people disgust me! Don't you know how brussel sprouts are raised? In close quarters, in the dark, never allowed to go out & play like the other baby cabbages. Brussel sprouts are the veal of the vegetable kingdom, and by purchasing and eating them, you're only encouraging such horrible treatment! :|

As a kid I hated them. My mom used to cook all green veggies until they were brown and disgusting. But nice little brussel sprouts, steamed just right have a wonderful sweet taste. But even now if they're too big or getting old they get bitter, so they have to be done right.
