Brussels sprouts: revered cabbage, or just another gross vegetable?
On the one hand, they’re trendy. Partly the reason why people obsess over Brussels sprouts is because they’re so darn cute, like budding aliens. Eating or mentioning sprouts nearly guarantees entry into the Cool Club. And beyond the facet of popularity, they’re dynamic—Brussels sprouts can be roasted, baked, sautéed, and/or masterfully crafted into almost any dish.
For some, this hotly contested debate has one, clear verdict: barf-worthy. In addition to the bitterly unpleasant taste, the smell of Brussels sprouts is overpowering. No taste in the world could compensate for the ungodly funk of steamed Brussels sprouts, and for those reasons, many remain skewed towards the vom end of the spectrum.
What do you think? Are Brussels sprouts the greatest or totes overrated?
