      I keep hearing I should try eating them. With this info, I guess I might as well

        I’d recommend halving and roasting them, drizzled in a mix of olive oil, good quality vinegar, salt, pepper, and a tiny dash of honey. Just make sure to pre-heat the oven, and use a high temperature (220°C should be good).

        Alternatively: dice bacon, render fat, reserve the meaty bits, use the fat to brown the seasoned halved sprouts on high fire. Then put the meaty bacon bits again with them. Then add grated Parmesan.

      I’m dutch and grew up in the 2000’s, I still remember boiled brussel sprouts tasting super bitter and awful. Haven’t really tried them since I cook my own meals though.

      Having eaten them both back then and now, and had them both properly cooked and poorly cooked, this makes the most sense. I just eventually forgot that they used to taste less pleasant than they do now.

      I’ve heard this, but I’d like to know what I’ve been eating over time. I never hated sprouts - I had them boiled (briefly!) as a kid in the 90s, when I guess this variety hadn’t yet proliferated? I like sprouts more now but have always attributed this to cooking them differently - fried or roasted, but occasionally simmered in a curry.
