Some people loathed the bitter taste of Brussels sprouts as children. But the humble vegetable has been the subject of a decades-long breeding programme to banish the bitterness.

    They’re so good if cooked well. Roasted with garlic and olive oil

      I made the mistake of doing this at a family supper (they normally steamed them), and ended up on sprouts cooking duty for the rest of my foreseeable future lol.

      Balsamic vinegar is an amazing addition as well.

    I never minded them as a kid but they weren’t the best. The newer varities are quite nice. Love them roasted or broiled!

      We’ve been deep-frying them with pumpkin seeds. Add dried cranberries, goat cheese, and a vinaigrette… I am drooling just typing this

    No, I do not hate them - quite the opposite. Pliny the Elder knew what was up, BRASICA CULT FOR LIFE.

    And it still tastes fucking awful. Yes, I’ve had them roasted, yes from great kitchens.

    No, they’re not tasty.

    “No, these are less shitty.”

    They’re still shitty, just less.

    I’ve only ever had the modern version. Not really a fan. I suspect I would’ve preferred the more bitter variety.
