Agreed. I love all the vegetables from the cabbage family, in fact they're my favorite. But brussel sprouts?
Can't eat them. Won't eat them. I try them every 6 months or so to see if my taste has changed. No Sir, I don't like it.

They can be made different ways for the different seasons. For winter, I like to use fried pancetta when frying.
The only way you can say sauerkraut is bad is if you've never had it properly prepared. It's amazing.
Onions are amazing on pretty much anything.

I like them.
Anybody tried Durian?

That's probably the worst thing I've ever tried.

Yes...
It is rather intersting. First off, the smell... it smells like onion. The taste... like a mix between banana and almond custard. I tried to use it to make it into a cake batter... It smelled soooo good baking. When I tried it, it tasted like onion. I think it would have been really tasty as a savory base for a quiche.
I don't mind steamed brussel sprouts tossed in butter with some salt and pepper. Foods I absolutely hate include mushrooms, bean sprouts, zucchini and to a lesser extent squash.
Noooo! They can be absolutly amazing. Most folks only think of artichoke "pickled" in heavy oil or in spinach/artichoke dip.
I steam them (hint: Add some slices of lemon to the steaming water and they will not turn brown.
Steam until tender. "rip" the meat off of each leaf and enjoy. I like to make them a bit unhealthy by melting butter with whatever herbs are around and some salt. If done right, they are not bitter at all. When you get to the heart, it takes some work to properly carve it, but when you do, it is so meaty and almost "nutty" tasting.
You could also make a dip by greek yoguart, lemon and roasted garlic.
:frown: too bad. They are simple enough to make if you wanted a snack though. Same goes for edamame. quick and filling and rather healthy. I think it would be neat to try and grown them.
They can actually be pretty good if prepared right. They have to be on the smaller side, outer leaves trimmed. Render down some bacon, remove the bacon pieces, cut the sprouts in half and put cut side down in bacon fat. Let 'em caramelize a little bit, then add a little bit of red wine vinegar to deglaze, reduce, and then add some water or small amt of stock, put the lid on and let them braise until fork tender. Add the bacon crumbles back in, toss, and serve.
It's the only way I've found that I like them.
my understanding is that brussel sprouts are very bitter and need to be scored and soaked before cooking. i cook a lot and have tried a number of vegetables i wouldnt have eaten as a kid, but i still dont get near them, they dont even look appetizing.
to whoever was down on mushrooms....bah! i wont eat plain, sauteed mushrooms, but ill cook them up with something else or use them in a sauce or stuff them. mmmm
This link might explain the objectionable part. It appears to be sulphur created when cooked too long.
It describes a simple, straight forward way to cook them. I'm going to try it.
