Since I love all green veggies except asparagus (who could like it when it's boiled into green slime?) perhaps I'll have to get some and try steaming with a bit of butter and garlic.
This thread is making me hungry.

I guess I am in this boat as well. Growing up with mother that could only fry and boil let me to the road of beef and potatoes. My wife got me eating brocolli recently and maybe now it's time to try the sprouts... Hmmm, a run to the farmers market today might be in order....

I never met a sprout I didn't like. Veggies should be dropped into boiling, salted water and left until three to five minutes after the water returns to a boil and served, any more than that and they're ROONT!

Um, no.
Veggies of all shapes and sizes do not belong in a bath of boiling water. They need to be dropped in to a smoking hot cast iron wok with a bit of peanut oil and stir fried. Flash fried. Add various sauces and or seasonings.
Mmmm!!!

De gustibus non disputandum est.
There is a wonderful old quote: "Some men eat to live. I live to eat!" Sprouts with a little melted cheese, MMMMMMM!
