My aunt (in Ft. Gibson OK) pickled some that was OK, and a friend showed me that eggplant Parmigiana could be transcendent. If Brussels sprouts are fresh and done carefully, they can be wonderful, but I've also had awful ones. It depends on the mess hall...

There oughta be a law. But good Brussels sprouts are tender little baby cabbages with a soupcon of salt and a few drops of melted butter, tasty to eat and more fun to dismantle than an Oreo cookie.

Only boiled okra (fried is okay), kale and broccoli are nearly as evil. Brussels Sprouts look and try to fool you into believing they are merely small cabbages; but evil exists within those small, green containers of the devil's essence. ;-) Brussels Sprouts are the devil’s food.
