    Part of this is the wrongest thing I've read on here since we moved to MFP.

    OK we all have our own tastes. But to just pop up with this gratuitous attack on the Brussels Sprout calls for pushback. As the GOADie who, for a while, posted the Brussels Sprout Recipe of the day, I guess it falls to me.

    For a while I would eat a few BS now and again steamed with balsamic vinegar. They were ok. Then I discovered the Roasted Brussels Sprout. It's not like cooking, it's alchemy. (Fully agree with OP's apparent low regard for liver though.).

    Enjoy: Copied from The Food Network.

    Roasted Brussels Sprouts

    Ingredients

    1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
    
3 tablespoons good olive oil

    3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Directions

    * Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

    * Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt ( I like these salty like French fries), and serve immediately.

    Saying Brussels Sprouts are the liver of the vegetable world is an insult to liver!

    I've tried those little green orbs of hell every way imaginable and STILL don't like them.

    Brussels sprouts are delicious. There's a reason they're showing up on more and more appetizer menus.

    I like brussels sprouts especially not overcooked and liver the same. DD wanted liver for her B-day when young. Nice that we all have different tastes and variety of foods. Makes lifestyle easier and perhaps adventurous too.

    I don't just love Brussels Sprouts, I lurv them. I'd eat them every day.

    Chicken liver with caramelized onions and some sort of wine or balsamic reduction made by someone else, yes please. Calves liver, blech!

    Most activity I've seen on one of John's threads! Hail to the Sprout! I like the little guys too.

    BTW How many other celebs, besides Kirk Douglas, are older than Hello Dolly?

    Roasted brussel sprouts are the bees knees. I roast mine at a higher temperature (500 degrees) for less time--about 20 minutes.
