We have a restaurant locally that breads and frys them, then just before serving they crush them on a hot grill, to blacken the edges....I actually enjoy them this way

Also used to get them at a restaurant in Atlanta called the "Coach and Six" where they had this buttery cheese-like sauce (similar to what is common for cauliflower), and then Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, that wasn't too bad, either.

Yeah, exactly ! When I made this thread in 2015 they weren't as popular/trendy yet ! Like you said not just plain Brussel sprouts, but prepared in fancy ways seem to be the trend in the last couple of years !

But in the 1950's -early 60's Brussel sprouts were certainly not popular and would be weird at a restaurant !

BTW - Really delicious Brussel sprouts (frozen) at Trader Joe's ! Even if someone doesn't like Brussel sprouts , they might like these ! So delicious, as I said they are frozen and small . Very tender when cooked and naturally sweet ! I think that's the thing about Brussel sprouts, the fresh ones DO take long to cook, if they are undercooked they are hard and a bit bitter !

June is a dink !

Dink is defined as a sports shot where the ball drops just over the net, or a slang term for a jerk, or an offensive term for a person born in Southeast Asia, or an abbreviation (DINK) that is defined as double income, no kids. ... Used as a disparaging term for a Vietnamese person, especially during the Vietnam War.

I had some sprouts from a local cafeteria the other night, MCL.

I'm with Wally, you can choke 'em down. But I don't like 'em very much.

Didn't Wally in another episode say he hid his sprouts under his potatoes?

Pass me yours. I will smother them with mustard and enjoy them...slowly, bite by bite.

Good point. Yes, he did!

That sounds good!

I still can’t stand them cooked but raw and thinly sliced in a salad is tolerable to me. Odd as I really like cauliflower cooked and raw. Wished I did like Brussels Sprouts though as they’re really good for you.

They're probably more nutritious raw.

I'm the same way about carrots. They're awful cooked, but the baby carrots are great raw, dipped in ranch dressing.

You know me too. If I cook them, it’s only a little to put into chicken soup. But I love them raw and like to dip them in guacamole.

Carrots gave me nightmares until it was suggested to stick them raw, into the Cuisinart, shred them and put them on my oatmeal, and cook them in the microwave.

I am shredding a bunch tomorrow and then freezing them to heap on my oatmeal. Some people are using summer squash instead of carrots.

I like them raw shredded to but love carrot sticks and baby carrots.

Yuck. Not me. But they do have a cruciferous raw salad with shaved Brussels sprouts. Those I can eat. But cooked - NEVER!
