Oi Brain !!....I hope you're not trying to steal my joke crown ?

One thing for sure - I'll never be on that Brussel Sprout 'claim to fame' list.....if there's anything I fail on diet-wise, it's not enjoying my greens. But hey, that's what multi-vitamins are there for, right ?

Fresh brussel sprouts are really nice.

The ones they sell in our local supermarkets are not fresh enough though and always taste bitter.

Fresh brussel sprouts are great steamed, you can always add a tiny bit of butter to fix the bitterness.

Love of broccoli begins in womb

WOMEN can give their children a lifelong taste for “healthy but horrible” foods such as broccoli and brussels sprouts simply by eating them during pregnancy or while breast-feeding, researchers have found.

The discovery could help avoid the battles over food and diet which dominate the dinner tables of many young families as parents try to persuade children to “eat your veg”.

It suggests that mothers should adopt a stealth approach, indoctrinating their offspring’s taste buds with a liking for cabbage, broccoli and other healthy vegetables even before they are born, say the researchers......

I love Broccoli, beans, spinach, squash but those BS are just awful tasting no matter HOW they are prepared!

I think I'd rather eat the inside of a pair of dirty sneakers than to eat BS!

It's not for lack of trying. They just taste awful to me. And every few years I'll even put a BS in my mouth just to see if I will like them.

PPPFFFFTTT!
