5. Mom's policy was I had to try everything one, then I didn't have to eat it

For some reason, I didn't mind eating them then, now I love them.

2. I never had them as a kid

because my parents hated them as kids, but steam them with a little salt and butter...

and oooh mang.

[da_chimperor]

3. Exactly, that's how I do them. The trick is to not overcook them.

I feel über-healthy after eating a bunch. It's a good feeling, and it compensates a bit for my smoking.

4. I'm turning your parents in for child abuse

6. My parents never had them, but now I like them

I like them on the grill basted in lemon and butter.

7. I love em too.

but i didn't eat any non-starch veggies until after high school and my mom never made me.

my mom couldn't bring herself to make me eat veggies because her dad use to threaten that men in white coats would come and take her away to the home for bad girls if she didn't eat hers. he even dressed up as as the man and scared the shit out of her once.

14. That's a rather drastic way of getting your kid to eat their veggies

:(

15. ya think?

poor mom. it still hurts her to think of it today.

8. What is wrong with you???

Brussel sprouts? Ewwwwww!

I tried one once. Tasted like a little, nasty, old, and moldy cabbage.

Bleh!

13. Fresh ones are great. Frozen... eh. Canned? Missing WMDs.

Over-cooked? Sell 'em to the Israelis as a new weapon.

They're delicate.
