Boiled in water and then smothered in butter and salt. Or oven roasted in balsamic vinegar and salted.
It may be my favorite vegetable.

We have Brussel sprouts a couple of times a week but I won’t even stay in a house with the smell of boiling cabbage.

MrEdd :" 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."
My kids loved them; we called them something else
The sprouts were: "Monster heads"
and the cheese/hollandaise sauce was :"blood"
They were eaten pretty quickly by the kids - I think it might have just been the sauce (?)..
As an adult, I enjoy split Brussel Sprouts sauteed with cooking small cut bacon pieces, and small slices of onion, with 'Mrs Dash' seasoning, or a little garlic powder.
Brussel Sprouts, cabbage, kale, and other members of the cruciferous family are natural food sources for calcium in the diet; they are especially good for bone density loss/aging.

I did not say I liked the smell but we all loved my mom’s fried cabbage and I love stuffed cabbage leaves. I grew up on a farm and learned to like everything we grew. I never could stand the smell/taste of liver and onions, though. Yucky!

Lorianne :" And now there are fears the insect also known as a cabbage moth could wipe the traditional trimming off the festive menu .."
Obviously, the Brits don't use Bacillis Thuringiensus , an naturally ocuring bacterial disease that gives the cabbage looper and moth a terminal bout of the flu.

They are awesome when fried in butter. They are horrific when boiled.
To: dirtboy
We always call them Texas cabbage. Would eat them every day.

Me either ! Worse than yucky !
I would actually start dry wretching while it was cooking !
My grandma would tell me to go next door and see what my aunt and great-garandma were having: mostly it was pork and saurerkraut (AKA: fermented cabbages).
IT taste better, and smelled better, especially when served with applesauce.

I planted four stalks in my garden for the first time this summer. They led to Trumps election in Wisconsin. They were delicious.

I should have specified boiled cabbage. The smell reminds me of school cafeterias. Strangely,I do not associate the smell with mess halls.

My whole family loves them. I indoctrinated the younger ones by calling them tender juicy baby cabbages.

Not me. All my life my mom tried to get me to like BS. Every time she served them, which, was often, she’d say, “try it. I fixed it differently.” She lied.

Our kids gobble Brussels sprouts with passion. Steamed with cheese sauce.
