Any other fans of Brussels sprouts, here?

[Odin2005]

I find it hilarious that so many people think it's the worst veggie ever, because I love them, a little bit of melted butter or cheese and a little pepper and I have a nice little snack or side.

[PETRUS]

1. They go well with bacon.

What more could one want?

06I wouldn't recomend <a href="http://www.nyasianblue.com">new york asian escort</a> buying films <a href="http://www.nyasianblue.com">new york asian escorts</a> from a porn site as <a href="http://www.nyasianblue.com">new york escort</a> many times they are in the money cheating business and that's just <a href="http://www.nyasianblue.com">new york escorts</a> not right. I would rather buy from an adult store which specialises in adult material and products

[petronius]

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. lol

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I love them, my dear Odin2005!

My husband likes them plain, and I like them with a little butter...

Yummy!

Plus, they are very good for you!

[trof]

24. Good with a dollop of Hollandaise too.

[applegrove]

4. Apparently they are good with a little bacon fat. But, really, what isn't?

[Xipe Totec]

5. Great when they are fresh, awful when they are old nt

[Retrograde]

50. Gotta have right off the stalk

Trader Joe's of all places has been selling stalks of sprouts. I don't know if it's a nationwide thing or just the Bay Area - after all, most sprouts come from about 50 miles from here.

One of my memorable Thanksgiving dinners featured Brussels sprouts I bought near Monterey
the day before - the guy was bringing in a fresh wheelbarrow full of them from the fields - that went straight from the stalk into salted water, cooked briefly, and served plain. They vanished in minutes!

6. Big fan.

[erinlough]

7. they are my favorite snack!

just a little butter on them is all I need.

[pokerfan]

9. love them

I like to lightly steam them. First, I clean them, then I cut the ends and peell away a few of the outside leaves which I eat raw (cook's privilege). Then I cut them in half lengthwise as I've learned that they cook more evenly that way. Then I put them into a plastic bag with lemon juice and seasonings and shake the bejeezus out of it so that the sprouts are covered with seasoning. Then into the steamer they go.

The trick here is not to overcook them because (wiki) overcooking releases the glucosinolate sinigrin, which has a sulphurous odour. The odour is the reason many people profess to dislike Brussels sprouts, having only ever tried them overcooked. Generally, six to seven minutes boiled or steamed is enough to cook them sufficiently.

[blueamy66]

10. my most favorite veggie EVER

cook it however you want to....LOVE THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS

[Angry Dragon]

11. YES

[OriginalGeek]

12. I looooooove them!

My wife will boil the frozen ones until they are just about mush and then salt, pepper and butter. Eat em till they're gone.

Sometimes we find good fresh ones and I'll toss them in olive oil and garlic and then bake them until the outsides are brown and crispy and the insides are fluffy brusslesy goodness.

[handmade34]

13. with

olive oil... yum!

[beac]

14. Love 'em.

mr beac HATES them, so they are a treat for when I have the house to myself. Lots of butter and salt/pepper is my favorite garnish.

[hlthe2b]

15. Love them... roasted with garlic and ollive oil

Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck) turned me on to that...

[surrealAmerican]

36. That's the way I like them too.

A squeeze of lemon is also nice on that.

[Adsos Letter]

16. As long as they're fresh. Then it's melted butter and salt. Yum!

[aikoaiko]

17. I like them a lot.

[marzipanni]

18. I read that you can cut the stem end and peel all the leaves off

and quickly sauté them, so I bought some nice fresh Brussels sprouts at the farmers market. Ye Gads- it would have taken an hour to separate all the leaves so instead I cut them in half, steamed them in a medium frying pan with a little water for 3-4 minutes then poured off the water and added a little butter and olive oil and sautéed them just until they were tender al denté- YUM!
A friend said adding splash of balsamic vinegar is good- I'll try that next time.

[kimi]

19. I love em

They're so damn cute! LOL

Actually, my middle son loves them even more than I do. He's 22 and a total addict to roasted Brussels sprouts. All of my other 4 boys gag when I mention them, but at least I raised one son the right way.

[Solly Mack]

20. Snack food!

Yummy!!!!

[dimbear]

21. They were better back when they were dirt cheap. Nowadays the lil critters are costly.

Add that to the trouble they are and it's hard to justify.

[tjwmason]

22. Love them, but can understand why some folk don't

When properly cooked they're delicious, but when over-cooked they rapidly become very nasty.

[Highway61]

23. Love them

Especially the recipe at Chris Ruth's and/or Ruth Chris Steak house... (could never get that name straight) That recipe is most likely NOT good for you but once a year.... yum!
honestly the best I ever had. But plain or doctored up, I love them

[ensho]

25. me - eat them all the time

cabbage too

and boiled celery with butter

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Ick.

Mom tried to get me to eat them when I was a kid; hated 'em. Years later I tried them again, thinking I might have outgrown my childhood loathing.

Nope. They still taste like rotting garbage. I tried a couple ways of cooking them. I still hate them.

[Charlemagne]

27. Love

the sprouts. Serve em up!

[Bucky]

28. I thought that was a code word for Jean-Claude Van Damm's nipples

[HappyMe]

30. .......

[Generic Brad]

29. They are awesome on their own

Just don't throw them in turkey soup, though. My wife did that last week and it did not turn out well.

[Odin2005]

31. Never put a veggie of the genus Brassica in a slow-cooking liquid.

It gets NASTY!

[Arkansas Granny]

46. I used to put them in my veggie soups instead of cabbage. They added the same flavor and anyone

who didn't like cabbage could easily avoid them.

[graywarrior]

32. I could live on those things!

[hedgehog]

34. You are speaking of Muppet cabbage?

My children's favorite!

[pintobean]

35. With a dash of soy sauce

is pretty good. I like them every way I've had them, though.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what a dash is.

[IcyPeas]

37. great winter vegetable...

steamed.... butter, salt and pepper.

thanksgiving and christmas wouldn't be the same without them

[one_voice]

38. I love Brussels sprouts!....

then again I love all veggies.

[AsahinaKimi]

39. BOUGHT SOME TODAY ... they are perfect..

I like to freeze them, and then take them out when needed. I love the flavor. It goes better with my food than Bokchoy, which sometimes you can choke on, if you are not careful. Love the flavor of them!

[femmocrat]

40. I love them! I also grow them in the garden.

I don't pick them until the first frost. They are very sweet then. The key is not over-cooking them.

[Codeine]

41. Halved, tossed with olive oil, garlic, and sea salt, and roasted till the edges get nice and brown.

Serve with a little mustard sauce and I'm a happy, happy boy.

[Kali]

42. yes!

I like them with butter and salt and just a sprinkle of garlic powder. yum!

[LeftishBrit]

43. Yes! I really like them too!

[bigwillq]

44. YES! Love them (nt)

[Arkansas Granny]

45. I love sprouts. I had some just a couple of days ago.

I just cut them in half and cooked them in a little water with some little smokies sausages.

[RebelOne]

47. Got some in my freezer.

This thread is tempting me to cook some tonight.

[trueblue2007]

49. *******I LOVE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Moondog]

51. Excellent fresh.

Not fresh; not so much.

In addition to the usual stuff, try them with soy sauce, splashed on at the table.

[eppur_se_muova]

52. Nice salad with Mandarin orange slices and walnuts ...

https://www.google.com/search?q=recipe_brussels_sprouts_mandarin_orange_walnuts

or with cherry tomatoes and pearl onions (more of a veggie dish than a salad).

[Grantuspeace]

54. I pickle them and put them in bloody Marys.

I and a hot pepper to give them an extra kick.

Love them steamed too!
