Hey, some of us enjoy Brussels Sprouts!

Skunk cabbages are traditionally hated by children across the western world.
Even if you try to disguise them with cheese sauce or a cuter name.

A former co-worker of mine referred to Brussels Sprouts as little green nuggets of nastiness.

My mother stuck a toothpick in the Brussels sprouts and called them “Vegetable DumDums.” My kids loved them!

I love Brussel sprouts. Think I am the only one in my family. Kinda reminds me of my late mom's cooked cabbage. That's just my opinion.

Originating from the Mediterranean, when in their caterpillar state, the insects can devastate crops and target green leafy vegetables. They have arrived on UK shores in their tens of millions earlier this year hundreds of times more than ever before.
Guess that Brexit came a bit too late for that one....

NOOOOOOOO! Those little sprouts are so adorable. As a kid they remind me of Babies Cabbages, but also they remind me of those Pods from Invasion of the Body Snatcher LOL. Sheesh even prices for Brussel Sprouts are going up.
To: bigbob
That would work, some vitamins might rub off.
