Send them back to Belgium.

Cosmo is actually eating something healthy? That’s a shock.

That’s a weird idea of ‘healthy’!! Vegetables aren’t food, things that eat vegetables are food!

turn-up your big tomatoe

Susan001 said, Same with Jerusalem artichokes!

Shouldn’t that be “oughttochokes ?

Notice that at home the food is better than the food at Roz’s. So why does he even go there?

Explanation please?

what, you’ve never seen an artichoke?

No, but I have seen a mush room! [Giggling].

guess hubby and I are the only ones that really like Brussels Sprouts….wonderful in butter.

going to Roz’s for the company and “cooks night out”.

I wish they grew into cabbage.

I love Brussels Sprouts! They are espeicially good served chilled in a vinegar dill brine!

Joe Alan - That was Stymie that said that in “Little Rascals”.

“…It might’a choked Artie, but it ain’t gonna choke Stymie!…”

@ Dry: I might say they are especially good served to someone else ;-)

I checked the tag “Brussels Sprouts” and found a Fox Trot cartoon where everyone was calling them “giant boogers”.

along those same ‘little rascals’ lines:

use isthmus in a sentence.

Isthmus be my lucky day!

I agree. There are all kinds of good ways to cook them. For somebody else to eat! I eat many vegetables, just not that one.

Good one, Chromosome!

huh?

You ought to try growing those things. Long tall plants like the Triffids that grow the sprouts on their “arms” and stems. . You strip the leaves to get the energy into the sprouts. Little cabbages that are more trouble to clean than you can believe. And then you have to get your wife to boil a pot of small cabbages or let you do it and stink up the house. Great for you I guess, but their large cousins are a LOT easier.

If THAT’S what he serves at home, it’s self-evident why he eats at Roz’s Diner most of the time!

Sort of like the story about the guy who opens his lunch box at work and mumbles, “Baloney sandwiches again. I hate baloney!” One of his co-workers says, “Why don’t you ask your wife to fix you something different. I’m sure she will.” He replies, “I’m not married, I fix my own lunch.”

They’re even good in the garden down to 17 degrees. Luvum.

i like brussells sprouts, but my brother calls them “the Devil’s golf balls.”
