" I can't stand eating any of them."

All right... trust me on this...

Blanch cut some Brussels sprouts in half, blanch them for just a few minutes in salted water, and then saute' them in butter till their cute ends are slightly browned.

The reason I say this is that so far it seems even people who don't like Brussels sprouts end up liking these..

You're really an optimist!

I like brussel sprouts and your cooking method sounds yummy!

You left the last two steps off of the recipe:
Pour cooked sprouts into the dispos-all and order a pizza.

Ah-ha the key word here is butter! I agree, but then again I'm of the frame of mind you can put butter on a (insert word of choice here). and it'd probably taste wonderful.

Also, sprinkling a good amount of bread crumbs sauteed in butter on top of them (brussel sprouts) helps.

Ditto what I just said for Brussels sprouts. Butter those bad boys and pass 'em my way!

I loathe brussels sprouts. But my sister prepares them as you described, and they're very tasty.

Agreed; most people have had these vegetables cooked to death, which is why they don't like them. Another good method for Brussels Sprouts is the way the Barefoot Contessa prepares them: toss whole sprouts in a little olive oil, add sea salt and pepper, and roast them in a baking pan at 400 degrees for half an hour, tossing them once during the roasting time. The insides are perfectly cooked, and the outside is crisp and sweet.

I can't understand why people don't like these vegetables - I'm on the love 'em side. My favorite way of cooking broccoli is saute with garlic and onions and some Cajun spice, then add lemon juice, white wine and soy sauce. Serve over rice of pasta. YUM! Works well with asparagus, too, and when you can get 'em, fiddleheads. I think I'm going to have to try brussels sprouts this way.
