Brussels sprouts, heaven or hell?

Who loves them and who hates them?
I loved them and could eat a whole plateful.
DH hates them 😁

This you have to do them properly with lots of butter. Boiled brussels unseasoned are disgusting.

Love them also. Yes to fried, with salt and pepper and lot ls.of butter, but also I like them boiled. If they're not over cooked they don't seem to give the flatulence issues. Interesting comment about them being milder than they used to, I wonder if the nutritional content has changed too?

I'm pretty neutral. Not a popular opinion I'm sure, I'll eat them if they're on my plate but I wouldn't go for seconds.

@Georgeskitchen

fresh ones fried with smoked lardons and garlic - heaven

I love them but don't like them cooked any other way than boiled in plain water. And definitely not with bacon 🤮

Does anyone know anyways to make frozen ones a bit more exciting?

Love them but prefer the proper old style variety from my childhood to the modern ones

How long do you cook them in the air fryer for from frozen please?

Love them, one of my favourite vegetables.

I love them. When I do my meal prep for work it's always a huge pan of sprouts. Delicious

Disgusting vegetables,that's why everyone needs to "pimp them up" to make them edible.

I love them but I can no longer tolerate them thanks to my ibs. I get awful pain and fart for hours. :/

The devil’s vegetable. Anything you have to cover in cheese, bacon and cream to make it remotely reasonable is generally unpleasant!

I have the eating age of a 5 year old and cannot tolerate them terribly well. One of my DCs calls them fart bombs. I think it's the years of eating mushy, over cooked ones, that has scarred me. If they are cooked the way they should be, they are tolerable (better with crispy bacon bits). DH thinks they are a joy to behold, with red cabbage as a close second. I beg to differ.

They are the devil's testicles.

I’m sure you are right about them being much less bitter nowadays, @Iliveinanoodie - I really disliked them as a child. Mum and dad used to bribe dsis and I to eat them - they always had them with chestnuts, which we loved, but we had to have a sprout for every chestnut we had.

I really enjoy sprouts now - dh and I love it when they are in the supermarket, and probably have them every week.

I also enjoy them in bubble and squeak, with leftover cold roast chicken.

Love them! Even the frozen ones. Didn't like them until I was 25ish.

Hate them!

DH and my parents love them though. DD agrees with me!

Love them cooked any way.

Love them, especially the small nutty ones. Always buy and cook them when fresh whether boiling [for only a few minutes], or frying. I often slice them thinly into a salad. And gorgeous in bubble and sqeak.
If they are old, outside leaves going yellow they are then sulphurous and will be awful. Buy and use fresh then they shouldn't give you wind.

I love them. I'm having Brussel sprouts and potato gratin for dinner tonight.

Me and dh love them. Dc not so much but still eats them, since he saw a poster that told him brussels sprouts have all the vitamins, and one of the best veg.

I can tolerate them enough to have a few small ones on my plate on Xmas day. The left overs I can tolerate provided they're mixed into bubble and squeak that's been fried in the frying pan to get nice crispy burnt edges

Love them! Would eat a plate full covered in gravy!

Love them. Mostly just boiled but also fry them or use them in chicken traybake.
