Have you had them since childhood? Because I hated them as a kid, then realized as an adult they were just slightly bitter.Dr. Medulla wrote:Do you use a garbage disposal for that or just throw them right into a garbage can?Wolter wrote:True Story: I'm making Brussels sprouts today.

Had them (accidentally) about five years ago. I was lucky that the assault charges against me were dropped.Wolter wrote:Have you had them since childhood?

A taste for brussel sprouts are one of those things that are probably tied up heavily in genetic predisposition: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/ ... prout-gene

Re: I miss you guys
I don't disagree with that necessarily, but I do wonder of Flex and Doc have actually had well prepared sprouts. Because the old school way of boiling them or microwaving them is just nasty. I have a killer recipe for sliced sprouts, sauteed with glazed pecans. Lots of butter and pepper too.Wolter wrote:Then I accede, given my genetic hatred of cilantro.Flex wrote:A taste for brussel sprouts are one of those things that are probably tied up heavily in genetic predisposition: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/ ... prout-gene
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: I miss you guys
I have had brussel sprouts in many different dishes, prepared many different ways (I probably have dishes with brussel sprouts a couple times a year). I'm sure I've had some badly cooked sprouts in my life, but I've had them at high enough quality restaurants and otherwise prepared by people I trust enough in the kitchen that I can't lay my dislike at the feet of preparation.matedog wrote:I don't disagree with that necessarily, but I do wonder of Flex and Doc have actually had well prepared sprouts.

I'll admit, I've had a dish or two where there's so much other stuff in the mix (i.e. tons of butter or sausage or whatever) that it masks the sprout taste enough for me to enjoy the dish. My sister (a pro chef) is pretty good at finding recipes that so obliterate the sprout taste that I can enjoy it. Pretty sure those recipes don't end up in the net gain column for health benefits, though.
I'd rather just have some uncooked broccoli in my salad, to be honest.

Re: I miss you guys
Couldn't I just have glazed pecans, maybe with butter and pepper, and ignore the shitty sprouts?matedog wrote:I don't disagree with that necessarily, but I do wonder of Flex and Doc have actually had well prepared sprouts.

I have a pretty good one for pan cooked and quartered sprouts that has caramelized onions, garlic, turmeric, and thyme.matedog wrote: I have a killer recipe for sliced sprouts, sauteed with glazed pecans. Lots of butter and pepper too.

Re: I miss you guys
That sounds amazing. Pan cooking and getting them slightly darkened is awesome, but I have yet to perfect that method.Wolter wrote:I have a pretty good one for pan cooked and quartered sprouts that has caramelized onions, garlic, turmeric, and thyme.matedog wrote: I have a killer recipe for sliced sprouts, sauteed with glazed pecans.

Re: I miss you guys
Brussel sprouts on the stalk have to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. Whenever I see them @ Trader Joe's, I think, "Yuck."
The sprouts don't look bad on that pizza, though. I'd probably try that.

Peel the outer few layers and put a deep cross cut into the stalk. Steam them so they soften but not mushy and eat with roast dinner and gravy

Aye, that's the way I have them.101Walterton wrote:Peel the outer few layers and put a deep cross cut into the stalk. Steam them so they soften but not mushy and eat with roast dinner and gravy
I couldn't stand them as a kid, to the point that I would leave my dinner if a stray sprout had accidentally touched my plate. Don't mind them at all now.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
