    Ok...

    So a way I like to do sprouts is to separate all the leaves (pull them off like a lettuce) and then sautee them with little bits of bacon and onion - add some garlic and chilli if you like.

    The taste really nice :)

    H :)

    I can decapitate them! Mwuahahaha!

    I think brussel sprouts are jerks! With their littleness and their greenness and their funny taste.

    I shred them and sauté them with some diced onion and bacon. yum.
    Eating fat with veggies doesn't negate them at all.
    It's beneficial actually.
    If you don't want to eat bacon, use smoked paprika instead and sauté with evoo.
    They're pretty yummy this way.

    MMM...Brussel sprouts. I always boil mine with a bit of smoked ham in the water. I cook them the same way I cook any type of greens. The ham gives them the smoky flavor and adds a bit of fat but not too much unless you are drinking the water (and that would be pretty gross). I will have to try the other ways mentioned here. The one with bacon and onions sounds good. One slice of bacon never hurt anyone just dont eat the whole slab!

    Heard!!!!!
  • Brussel sprouts are a little odd; I can take them or leave them. But serve them mashed in cream, with plenty black pepper and a sprinkle of chestnuts and they are GOOD (not the lowest-calorie option, mind).

    I love beetroot, so maybe I'm just a bit weird.

    I don't love off milk. I especially hate when you throw away bad milk and it glugs like cottage cheese down the plughole. :sick:

    brussel sprouts are disgusting and no they don't taste like cabbage, I love cabbage. I gag on brussel sprouts, that and canned asparagus. Blech.
    Bacon might get me to try once more, heck even vegetarians like bacon! Raw I can honestly say I haven't tried.

    Beets are awesome roasted w/olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, rosemary, and basil. omg esp if you cook with onions, garlic, tomatos, sweet potatos and crimini mushrooms. mmmm!

    Poor brussel sprouts but I do love them too. I'm the milk smeller in our house, I think my hubby wouldn't know it was spoiled unless he poured it and chunks came out! Haha!

    I am totally with you on this one! I love Brussel Sprouts and have since I was a kid...now beets are a whole other story. They looking like they ooze toxic liquid, stain anything they come in contact with, and have the weirdest smell in the world!
