I can eat em,. Aren't they just tiny cabbages?

i like them
Posted By: RockyRaab Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
Had them just the other night. They do make me a bit "windy" but I like them.

I have only one food aversion, though. Cilantro tastes like soap to me. Other than that, I like everything.

They are perfect for shoving up a German hookers ass as far as I'm concerned.

Semi bake them then throw in with some stir-fry, goes well with feral cat or shih tzu, add a lil white rice at the end[grits will work in a pinch].

A single caramel coated onion on a tray of caramel apples can really liven up a Halloween party too.

Fry some bacon, remove the bacon, steam & fry the brussels in the bacon grease with a little salt & pepper. Add the crumbled bacon back in, serve.

Next year. I guess it was actually Easter not Halloween. Not too happy when they open up the plastic eggs and they’re full of Brocolli, Cauliflower and Carrots.

A guy in our office brought a big Krispy Kreem donut box. Inside was a veggie tray. He was not popular that day.

Wife loves them, I can't stand the nasty things. She tried to grow some last year but the bugs and chickens took care of that!
Posted By: RockyRaab Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
Anything that the bugs and critters devour before you get to eat them must be tasty stuff, don'cha think?
Posted By: rifletom Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
I like 'em. Wife fry's them in a bit Olive oil, diced walnuts and a bit of brown sugar. Tasty bastids. Gonna have her try the bacon thing. Sounds good.

I don't sound clear but you may have understood anyway. Toss with lemon juice after the EVOO salt/pepper/garlic powder topped roasting....

This method is awesome with broccoli too. Same cooking method.
Posted By: R_H_Clark Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
I eat them like candy on this diet. I bake them in butter until they are thoroughly browned and caramelized.
Posted By: TimberRunner Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
Frozen, they are absolutely horrible. Not worth eating.

Fresh, halved and grilled or roasted with olive oil, it is our favorite vegetable.

My teenage daughters love them. They are good right now. Such a late fall vegetable, better after being touched lightly with frost. Come spring, stop buying them.
Posted By: Mike_S Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
Wife likes them. First time I had them was for dinner at the firehouse. Green Giant frozen with a cheese sauce are tolerable.

Cauliflower holds the distinction of the worst vegetable in my estimation. Whoever declared it edible should have had his a$$ kicked up around his shirt collar.

I never knew turnips actually grew a bulbous root like an onion til I started reading about the phenomenom from yankees on here.

We never let them grow that long here. 😄

Went to a fancy working-dinner thing with the wifey and her cronies. They had these blackened looking slug things in a pan with a blue flame under it.


I thought hmmm, what the hell...I usually will try mystery meat.


Turned out it was brazed, quartered brussel sprouts. Gaggg!!!!

Ever seen them grow? They are alien. Still I like them picked small and steamed (if you listen closely you can hear the alien screams).

Pressure cooked until just this side of soft and mushy. Slathered with butter or cheddar cheese sauce.

That's dinner.

They're good if you know how to cook them. Pretty much like everything except liver.
Posted By: plainsman456 Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
I like them steamed with a dab of butter and salt to taste.

Sometimes when they are picked turns them bitter.

I should mail you a leaky, thawing bag of Green Giant brussel snots across town. 😄

Love em; eat em as a snack.

One night after an evening out w/ the girls wife comes home to me partying hearty with a steamer bag of Brussels & the remote on the couch. She barely walks through the door when she asks, “oh my word did the dog poop on the floor again!?!?”

No honey; that’s my “vice” smile !

Amen.

Spent several years in England where brussel sprouts are staple crop. At the time they were picked by hand. More often than not, half the crop rotted on the vine. Talk about a putrid smell. The smell of rotting brussel sprout only heightened my dislike for them.
Posted By: Certifiable Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
Love brussel sprouts
Posted By: CMH Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
Love them sliced thin and sauteed in some olive oil, butter lemon juice and salt.
Posted By: Dutch Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/15/19
For 50 years of my life, I absolutely, positively, completely, affirmatively, utterly, passionately detested brussels sprouts.

Then a good fried served some stir fried ones for dinner. Out of politeness (not my strong suit, but he is a GOOD friend) I tried them, and, well, turns out it's not the brussels sprouts I hated, it's my mother's cooking. And that's not the first time I made that observation. Count your blessings if you have a mother that knew how to cook well.

My go to recipe these days:

4 oz of bacon (we buy bacon ends and pieces by the 5 lb brick around here, it goes everywhere). Cut and cross cut, 1/2". I cut from frozen.
Trim the ends off and halve the brussels sprouts. Mix bacon with Brussels sprouts and olive oil, and spread out on baking sheet. Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Stir once or twice. Remove, add a couple of table spoons of Balsamic Vinegar, and serve.

You can add onions as well, they bake really nicely and the sweet contrasts nicely with the bitter from the sprouts and the acid of the vinegar.

Next up lesson: Kale.

Posted By: Prwlr Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/16/19
Slice them up real thin then saute in a small amount of bacon grease with a pinch of thyme, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper............yum. Also good made that way and tossed with slices of kielbasa.

Steamed buttered, or plain ......not so much.

Take some balsamic and reduce it slowly with the Brussel, add some salt pepper and brown sugar. Thank me later.
Posted By: dan_oz Re: Brussel sprouts - 01/16/19
I think that like other members of the cabbage family, you just have to know how to cook them. Badly cooked, or after they've been frozen and thawed, they aren't much chop, but when they are done right I like them. Lightly steamed, with a little butter, or grilled, or roasted. I like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kohl rabi, turnips and kale too.
