Love them. Par boiled and then fried with pancetta or with chestnuts and a splash of port.

Love them. They should only be steamed though. Then lightly sautéed in butter (with chestnuts and lardons at Christmas).

Boiled or frozen are an abomination!

I absolutely love them. I've had them 3x this week while on holiday as they are common in restaurants served as a side dish - fried with Bacon & potatoes with maple syrup ( I could do without the syrup)

I grow my own and they are exceptionally delicious 😚

Marinaded in marmite.

heaven on earth

Food of the gods. Par boil, roasted with garlic and sea salt. Mwah.

I wouldn't say they were heaven but I do really like them just steamed with a knob of butter and salt and pepper, as part of a roast.

Delicious!

I had some last night. Some garlic, salt & pepper, a little butter, sautéed in the pan.
I love them.

Brussels sprouts are not something I grew up eating as I'm Mexican.
But I encountered my first taste of them at my MIL's Christmas lunch in England about 27 years ago. Sadly, I wasn't impressed.

I tried my hand at them and I love them now.
As a matter of fact, I'll be eating some later today.
Behold, Kung Pao Brussels sprouts! Yum!

Well I love them NOW that we par boil them then fry them in garlic butter, add pine nuts, bits of crispy bacon and finish them off with a sprinkling of parmesan.

But the brussel sprouts served up circa 1988, nope.

I have mine like this, but with a bit of red onion too. I swap the pine nuts for chestnuts for the Christmas day ones and add a splash of marsala. A world away from the overboiled horrors I remember.
