Sprouts!
Carrying on a riff from a previous thread about Brussel Sprouts and the people who love them.
Yes, I like them and I'll tell you why...
...my parents used to cook them to death when I was a kid and they were bloody awful but when I prepare them they're lightly steamed so that they retain some of their crispness and dabbed with butter and they totally rock! My children devour them. Don't cook them till they're mooshy!
...and they are SO good for you!
Best

I hate them as a kid too. Then one of the chefs at the cooking school where I work prepared them somewhat as you discribed. I couldn't get enough.

I adore sprouts. Believe it or not, the Chow hall at Ramstein AB, Germany prepared them like this and I've loved them since. Yum.

My favorite veggie! An interesting tale about Brussels sprouts: When I was a kid, we had a veggie garden every year. One December, as I was coming home from school, I cut through the garden and happened to notice a patch of green peeking through the few inches of snow on the ground. Apparently, just after we had harvested a few months before, one of the plants we missed had decided to just keep growing. I brushed the snow away, and found enough for supper that night. To this day, I'd have to say that those were the best I've ever had.

My view of the things has never altered - I hate them!
The very smell of them is enough to make me feel sick

Yuck.
Buf if you must cook them, saute them in butter and cheap beer. Salt, pepper, garlic, and a pinch of crushed red pepper.

Brussel Sprouts
I agree 100%. Also I used to eat them in the garden raw. Even gave them to my dog, who would eat whatever I ate in the garden except tomatoes.

I'm not a fan of sprouts, but I know they are good for me, so I always have them a few times when I eat out over the Christmas season. Many shops will only sell them in weighed bags, but fortunately our local Morrisons were happy to sell me just ten sprouts, (five each for Ann and I) for preparing today's lunch.

I've always loved them any way they were cooked.
