You probably did it wrong.

on board with Goofs and Frowns- brussel sprouts are delicious especially sauteed.

Overcooked brussel sprouts release a lot of sinirgin, you're basically eating/smelling sulfur. Whether you're using a dry or wet cooking method they're best cut in half or quartered and cooked as fast as possible limiting tissue damage. Sinirgin is water soluble so you can limit the bad taste with wet cooking methods, however dry cooking methods make them nice and crispy. If they still taste bad you're probably not seasoning them, salt takes the bitterness out of foods. I prefer mine grilled/broiled.

I like brussel sprouts fresh off the stalk. It's just a spicier brassica.

Add me to the sprouts fan club. Not my favourite food in the world but not bad by any means, certainly don't deserve the ridicule they get.

Well, two British guys say they like brussel sprouts, and if the creators of blood pudding and kidney pie say they're good then who am I to argue?

The GF gets the frozen bags of BS's and pops em in the microwave. Then she adds some butter and salt. Pretty tastee. But then again... I eat anything. Dont matter what you put in front of me, I'm gonna eat it.

Pretty much the same with the exceptions of kidney (though I can tolerate it in a pie) and avocados (and obvious filth like rotting maggot cheese).

Agree with the cut in half and cooked fast. They are sublime if you deep fry them quickly. And no vegetable ever met melted cheese that couldn't take care to make it exceptional.

I've never tried deep frying them, there's a few things I've wanted to try deep fried but it's just too much oil to get rid of, never thought it was worth the hassle. I'll have to try deep fried polenta one day, if anything.
