The Great Sprout Debate

[0iD]

Good old Brussels Sprouts, wheeled out every christmas & polorise opinion like marmite. So who loves them & who hates them?

I love em personally, with a dab of butter & some fried crispy bacon bits & chestnuts.

[Moby-Dick]

I'm quite partial to them , although my lower intestine tends to complain loudly

rumor has it you can make a v nice coleslaw from em !

[staffsMike]

oooo sprout-slaw eh..sounds good

I like sprouts..very nice.

[godsdog]

I like a sprout. Although I'm not sure on the recommended 4 minute quick boil time.

[Funkstar]

Sprouts are great, as long as they are properly cooked and not over cooked (don't ever cross the bottom of them)

They are pretty good sliced up in a stir fry.

Very good for you too.

[Blitzen]

As long as they arent crunchy they are great.
They MUST be soft and squishy.

[Tumble]

Any which way, so long as they're not cooked to death.. fresh crunchy ones are the best - 10 minutes in the steamer does em to PERFECTION.. and they're healthier too

Could eat them all day, usually have them a few times a week, not just at Xmas.

Sprouts ftw.

[ajbrun]

Well, the results of this poll are rather unexpected...

I neither hate not love 'em. I'll have them if they're on the plate, if not, I won't complain.

People hating sprouts is a myth I reckon. Its more of a kids thing - kids don't like to eat their greens. Adults who don't eat their greens are usually just thick or American, or both.

[Colossous]

Loves em !!

[GoNz0]

like im going to change my mind after 33 years..

[MadduckUK]

I am a myth

I have tried them every year... but I do not like them at all.

Sliced them up then stir fry them with some crushed almonds and bits of bacon.

Did them like that for a Christmas dinner for some friends a few years back. Asked them afterwards if they liked the sprouts and some of them didn't even know that they had eaten any sprouts!

Brussel sprouts are not particularly appealing, and are not popular in the US, however this doesn't mean that all Americans won't eat their veggies, it just means we have better taste in veggies than you all. (except the majority of Americans who really don't eat veggies, except katchup which at least for a while while Regan was president counted as a vegetable for school lunches!)
