Brusell Sprouts..

The age old myth that brusell sprouts are disgusting.. is it true?
What do you think of them?

Ive never been game to try one

i don't think its their taste as much as textuer, but they FEEL disgusting, healthy buggers tho!

They taste like a mix of all vegetables which is a rather good taste but, they dont smell or feel very good in your mouth.

According to a survey in 2002, Brussels sprouts are Britain's most hated vegetable; however, in 2005, a poll of 2,000 people named it as Britain's 5th favourite vegetable. Brussels sprout aficionados attribute the hatred of the sprouts to overcooking, which releases sulphur compounds in the vegetables that give it an unpleasant smell.

The cooking of the Brussels sprout is also the subject of much debate. As mentioned above, Brussels sprouts release sulfur compounds when they are overcooked. Otherwise, the unpleasant smell is avoided and the vegetable possesses a delicious, delicate nutty flavour. Many consider that the best flavour is only developed in mid to late winter, after the plants have been exposed to some frost. Commonly the base is 'crossed' with a knife under the belief that this will lead to more even cooking. Others believe that this crossing procedure leads to a leaching of flavours and that it should be avoided.

Brussels sprouts are commonly misspelled as "Brussel sprouts".

Polish people love Pirogi's ( potato dumpling, similar to Ravioli.)

I've always eaten them.(Brussels sprouts) Just because the flavor is different. But then I love FRESH Cole Slaw also.
