To think nobody likes sprouts. And anyone who says they do is just doing it for attention

[user1471517900]

I mean they're horrible. People have tried to help them by adding other things to make them not taste like sprouts, but let's just admit that they were never designed to be eaten. The taste is probably some evolutionary defence mechanism that has inexplicably not worked coz humans are daft enough to eat through the disgusting taste.

Anyone that says they like them is lying to us and themselves and is just looking for attention.

I watched a programme ages ago - perhaps the one show that said the people who hate sprouts have more tastebuds than people who love them and so they taste more bitter to them!

I love them and they don't make me fart.

I discovered recently they don't need a cross on the bottom! Saves me lots of time.
Yes, I love sprouts but not with other ridiculous things added to mess up the taste.
My insides love the workout too.

I love sprouts and attention!

I love them. Definitely not attention seeking!

I loved them as a toddler/preschooler and used to steal them off other people's plates. But then I grew tastebuds.

Concentrated evil, that’s what sprouts are. Shouldn’t be allowed.

I like them drowned in sage butter but only ever with Christmas dinner.

I like most veg though.

@steppemum - so like cucumber then. Are the two connected so people who hate sprouts hate cucumber? I hate both.

I love them, they're delicious. I don't love attention.

I can think of better ways to get attention!

We love sprouts in this house. Roasted until they are crispy. We are eating them several times a week at the moment and the kids love them too

I LOVE sprouts! Two out of three DC hate them but the other will ask for extras.

The only time I dislike them is when MIL boils the life out of them and they're just mushy balls of stinking gloop.

I lure sprouts best part of Xmas dinner.....my favourite veg....lovely mashed up with butter and black pepper yummy

I love sprouts. On their own, with loads of butter. Or with bacon and chestnuts. Bloody gorgeous.

But.

Do. Not. Ever. Make. Sprout. Puree.

Back in the 80s, when shoulder pads were all the rage, so were vegetable purees. And I duly followed the herd and made sprout puree. I have never tasted anything so hideous. All attempts to render the bitter taste more mild only had the effect of making the taste even stronger. Definitely avoid.

I expect it is no-ones favourite vegetable. Presumably none eaten after 29 March 2019 in any case.

I bloody love them! Have always loved them. I'd get all my siblings ones passed over when we were sat on the 'kids' table at Christmas. As an adult I get giddy when I can replace our usual green veg with sprouts each year.

Disclaimer: I like liver too so I'm probably a bit weird anyway.

DH, the weirdo, likes them and had half a dozen with his roast chicken today. I did apologise for not having put them on a slow simmer in September, but he said they were okay 👍

Amazing how many people can lie to themselves. Sad but amazing.

Love em, best thing about Christmas

Sprouts are my favourite vegetable. No lie.

I 💚 Sprouts.

I love sprouts. Raw or cooked..but nicer shredded raw.
Anyone who doesn't like them has probably been given overcooked soggy sprouts in their childhood.

Took me forty years to being myself to eat them, but I actually like them. No word of a lie. They have to be small and mustn't be overcooked. They are also good shredded in a food processor then stir fried with onion, bacon or pancetta, etc. DP is still a hater.

I love sprouts and so did my last dog. Neither of us cared if they made us fart.

And yes I am saying this for attention, I am an attention seeking sprout eating farty fucker. And proud.

Bugger off with your carrots and peas, get a backbone and eat a proper stinky vegetable or go and sit with the other soft wimps.
