Yes, that is how the vegetable is spelled. Brussels sprouts are members of the Brassicaceae (cabbage) family, and are pretty much universally reviled. I’ve recently discovered a love for them, but only the way I prepare them: cut in half, braised in sesame oil then sautéed in sea salt and garlic. Yummy. Trust me. If you need evidence, consider this: Both my kids like them. Last night, in fact, Gideon said, “We love you because you cook Brussels sprouts.” He really did say that.
I’m sure it is because we told them it builds muscles. And, because they are Batman and Superman, they care about big muscles. It is all in the presentation, folks.
Brussels Sprouts are still gross! 😦

Okay, but you cheated. Everything tastes good in sesame oil. You could fry last week’s dirty socks in sesame oil, and I would have to at least consider eating them!

True, especially if the socks are well-worn and thus filled with more flavor. Isn’t that the point of recipes? To enhance flavors and make things more palatable?
