[HEyHEY]

Stand and be counted you strange, stinky beings.

[Tafiti]

1. I do!

On salads anyway.

[HEyHEY]

2. There's always one nut job!

[Radio_Lady]

36. Count me as two!

Little cabbages with melted butter.

[Nikia]

3. My sister and I both like brussel sprouts

With butter and cheddar cheese. Unfortunately, my husband really hates them so I haven't had them in a while.

[BikeWriter]

7. Hmm huh, delicious!

[lumberingbear]

4. I do !

with butter. mmmmmmm, mmmmmmmm. mmmmmmmm

[Xipe Totec]

5. I like them with Tabasco sauce

I like anything with Tabasco sauce.

[BikeWriter]

6. I never eat over a quart or two of brussel sprouts at a sitting!

Cornbread and brussel sprouts are all I need for a meal.

[LincolnMcGrath]

8. Here

:hi:

[scarlet_owl]

9. I love them!

I've liked them ever since I was little.

[Blue-Jay]

10. I do not have brussel sprout syndrome.

I just wanted to make that clear.

[halobeam]

11. Fresh and steamed with butter

oh my!:hi:

[Z_I_Peevey]

29. There ya go.

Another proud Brusseliarian. Sprouter? Brusophile?

[Stockholm]

62. Yeah, that´s the ticket! n/t

[put out]

12. Yes, kinky, I mean stinky fellow brussels sprouts lovers!

Braised, roasted, steamed...pickled, with butter, with Parmesan cheese, with salt and pepper...I'll have to try Tabasco...

They may make the kitchen smell funky, but so does a lot of other stuff.

[hfojvt]

46. and I was thinking you are so cool

not only liking Brussels Sprouts but knowing how to spell them, but I cannot abide puke cheese (Parmesan). Reminds me of Mark Twain's story about the casket and the block of cheese.

[BlueJazz]

13. Indescribably Delicious!!

[u4ic]

14. Roasted, steamed, boiled...

I love'em! :bounce:

[LA lady]

15. I love them!

Steamed with butter, mmmmm mmmmm good.

Have you ever seen how they grow? They are so cute. Little baby cabbages on a stem.
I also love broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower but not asparagus.

[u4ic]

17. Welcome to DU, LA Lady!

:hi:

Yes, I've seen the plants...had them in the garden one year, but they were full of bugs. x(

[johnnie]

16. I do

My favorite is on the grill basted with lemon butter.

[blondeatlast]

23. That sounds yummy; I'll try that.

Love the li'l bassids, myself.

[hfojvt]

18. I don't believe I do

since there is no such thing as "Brussel sprouts"

They are called Brussels sprouts. I guess there is more than one Brussel. Then again, if you check an atlas the name of the city is also Brussels. :evilgrin:

[brook]

19. Me!

In addition to steamed and dripping in butter - I like them cold, tossed with sour cream and dill on a warm day.

[pitohui]

20. oh god i love brussel sprouts

why are they so costly in new orleans, they must grow in some far northern region

[LaraMN]

21. I like 'em. They're like little green boiled heads.

They're made out of aliens.

[Der Blaue Engel]

51. LOL

They ARE like little green boiled heads! :rofl:

I love brussels sprouts now that I've had 'em fresh...whole different food from what I was given as a child.

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. Depends on how they are made!

As long as they are cooked quickly, and not boiled for 20 minutes...they can be fucking excellent!

My favorite way is to cut 'em up finely, fry them in duck fat for 30 seconds, toss in a bunch of lime juice and cover the pan for a minute or so.

Fucking excellent!

[yellowdogintexas]

24. I love them, as long as they are not overcooked..

nice fresh, lightly steamed Brussels Sprouts with just a little butter are just divine.

Another really cool way to fix them is after steaming them, concoct a sweet and sour sauce and toss them in that with some crumbled up cooked bacon until the sauce is heated through. YUM YUM YUM.

[TK421]

25. Love 'em

[Demonaut]

26. As a British Subject I must say that Brussel Sprouts, a significant veggie

absolutely SUCK!...brings on involuntary gagging

[Callalily]

27. Oh Brussels sprouts

are yummy. Slightly steamed, butter, fresh lemon juice and a little lemon zest. My mouth is watering!

[youthere]

28. Disgusting. Satan's gonads.

[Vektor]

50. I feel that way about onions.

:puke:

[evlbstrd]

30. Martian heads!

I like 'em.

[spacelady]

35. Me laughing, I will look them up in my cookbook "To Serve Man."

[evlbstrd]

38. There are some very good recipes in that cookbook.

[spacelady]

41. Thank You.

[evlbstrd]

42. You are most welcome.

[CanuckAmok]

55. "Wait, there's still more 'space-dust' on it"

"How to Cook for Forty Humans"

[njdemocrat106]

31. Yes, I like them

And I don't care for most vegetables, either.

[Lilyhoney]

32. I like them.

I started liking them when I was about 20 yrs old. Maybe I would have liked them when I was younger but I don't think that I even saw one until I was 20.:shrug:

[HEyHEY]

33. Sweet F-ing christ! I go away for five hours and get 32 replies to this!

[Tallison]

37. No shit

Well done. Soliciting the devil's gonad post, especially. :applause:

[BikeWriter]

39. We love us some brussel sprouts!

[HEyHEY]

40. just proves to me the night crew

is the most confusing

[BikeWriter]

44. It's just that we know what is good eating.

[hfojvt]

45. Brussels. Brussels. Brussels

Look at that S car go!!

Sheesh, nobody bothers to read my salutory posts. It is like I am a teacher again trying to explain how the economy works and my students are just hoping I won't assign any homework so they can watch "House" tonight!

That does it. It is time for a pop quiz!!

1) What is the capital of Belgium?
2) What is the capital of Luxembourg?
3) What is the capital of Liechtenstein?
4) Who played keyboard on the song 'Roundabout'?

[BikeWriter]

56. Hmm...

1) What is the capital of Belgium? Brussels
2) What is the capital of Luxembourg? Luxembourg
3) What is the capital of Liechtenstein? Vaduz
4) Who played keyboard on the song 'Roundabout'? Rick Wakeman

[NMMNG]

34. Are you talking about fart balls?

It certainly seems like you are.

[JVS]

43. Not I

[HEyHEY]

47. Typical separatist

[Ptah]

48. I loves me some sprouts. Mmmm huh.

[Vektor]

49. I do.

Cute little buggers, and packed with nutrients.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. My husband and I love them......but.......

They must be very fresh, and small, small, small.......

Yummy!


:9

[enigmatic]

53. LOVE them!

Lima beans, too; I was always a weirdo..

[CanuckAmok]

54. I lie 'em. Are you offering?

han 'em over.

[sendero]

57. They're great.....

.... I love 'em.

However, my wife likes to remind me of her father's recipe for brussels sprouts:

1 lb sprouts
Peel. Cut crosses in the root base.
Bring 2 cups water with a tbsp butter to boil
Add the sprouts
Boil for 8 minutes
Pour the whole thing down the garbage disposal

[MissHoneychurch]

58. Not me

it is one veggie I really despise :puke:

[eyesroll]

59. Yummy.

Remove any discolored leaves and boil for three minutes, maybe four if they're big, no more. Shock 'em in cold water to stop the cooking.

Slice them in half. I like them sauteed in bacon fat (or maybe pancetta) and dressed with a mustard vinegrette.

[MissMillie]

60. I do!

I like all green vegetables.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

61. Those things are horrible.

In all seriousness, they taste exactly like what I would expect dung to taste like.

[underpants]

63. DUPE- this was discussed 6 months ago
