WHY we don't like Brussel Sprouts (was: Re:disliked foods)

[Guest guest]

LOL. I wonder how one knows that the BS's don't want to be eaten ? Did they tell

someone ? Anyway. Put me down as one that loves Brussel Sprouts. Sort of. When I

eat them I eat probably 4. Their taste is boring usually and sometimes a little

more bitter than what I like, but for some reason, this man that didn't like

green foods when he was a child loves them now. I love Broccoli (raw and or

cooked) and I even love turnup greens. I even thow all these in my Jack LaLane

juicer along with kale and spinach when I juice. I think my taste buds just

changed when I hit the age of old. J

so humans (and animals, I guess) would find them distasteful and not eat them.

That works with SOME people. Other people can't taste it and eat them anyway.

Any sharpness can be masked depending on how you cook your brussel sprouts. I

sometimes steam them in a wok and then add a dash of oil and soy sauce. At

other times I might simply serve them in a strong cheddar cheese sauce - and

entire meal on its own that gets devoured by anyone who comes near.
