Even I like those golf-ball-sized cabbages from Belgium.

Keep going…

I never liked Brussels sprouts until I had ones that were seasoned right and not over-cooked. I still consider clams to be giant boogers.

mmmm. giant green boogers in snot sauce

Parboil the sprouts and then finish in a frying pan with bacon

sprouts become delicious if smothered in olive oil and chopped bacon sprinkled…..yum

I never liked Brussels sprouts either until I had ‘em as a side dish at a bar and liked them. I’ve since experimented and it’s not hard to make them quite tasty, even without adding any oil (or bacon). I make them “Simon and Garfunkel” style – I slice them in half and cook them on a grill at high heat, seasoning them with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. I cook them until they’re crispy and blackened. Delicious.

Brussel Sprouts: least favorite vegetable of 2013 and 2014 and 2015 …

I’ve learned from the one time that my mom bought brussels sprouts, that you shouldn’t boil them, and when my mom did that, both my dad and I ran out of the house to get away from the smell.

I figure Brussels Sprouts are really cabbage testicles.

Brussels Sprouts are my favorite!

Brussels sprouts are great when roasted with a little olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, freshly ground black pepper, and a touch of cilantro…

Kids being kids here, I guess. (No matter what their actual age is …) But, yeah—it made me laugh out loud.

Thanks for the Muppet video, Nab. Good one.
