Can’t stand ’em myself.

Perfectly understandable

Don’t blame the kid one bit.

funny thing is I recall being OK with sprouts as a kid but I don’t like them now – they taste far too sweet now

The Brussels sprouts tend to produce fire at the other end.

He should use his breath to roast them. They much more edible that way.

Not the mama.

Sprouts are toxic to my taste buds

When they are prepared with Bacon Nectar (refer to Gray Matters the past few days), they are yumm-o.

They are fine if smothered in butter sauce, but I very much don’t advise you to suck off the sauce, because then they taste like cabbage.

Hold your ground, and your breath, junior!

Roast those puppies and don’t forget the garlic.

Just burn ’em up kid…

Oh, those poor little children from Belgium!

Favorite vegetable. And blackened are even better!

Seared brussels sprouts are delicious!

Did brussels sprouts first sprout in Brussels?

But then he can exhale flame at both ends.

Huh? The kid is environmentally sensitive but won’t force down a Brussels sprout? Kids these days. I’m telling you.
