Do You Like BS?

~*~
BS- you know... Brussels sprouts.  That's what you thought I meant, right?
~*~
These oft maligned veggies are actually one of the only ones that all three of us really like.  And that isn't due to any fancy cooking on my part.  I usually just steam them and add a little butter and salt.  Or, sometimes I saute them with a bit of garlic.  Tonight I think I will give THIS recipe a go... basically my usual saute but adding parmesan for a finishing touch.
~*~
So, do you like BS?  I have a theory that they are a love it or hate it food.  Leave a comment and let's see if I'm right!

PS- clicking on the photo will bring you to a blog called the Tiny Farm Blog.  You can get an interesting,  firsthand account of harvesting Brussels sprouts!  And for a website where you can learn all there is to know about the Brussels sprout?  Right here: http://www.brussels-sprouts.com/BSINFO.htm  I found that one while searching for the correct answer to whether it is Brussels sprout or Brussel sprouts.  Yep, you learn something new every day- if you're lucky!

Jennie, Your blog is just so diverse...it's amazing!

Upto the age of 19yrs, the only veggies I ate were salad ones and peas and potatoes.
Then when i moved in with Gary, he ate everything, and made me eat a tiny bit of everything too (hence my theory about if you eat something 10 times...lol).
And now I LOVE brussels sprouts, they are one of my favourite veg...MMMmmm yum, yum :D

Have a lovely evening Jennie, take care my dear,
Love n hugs,
Donna xxOOxx

I used to hate them.. but I always had them over-cooked...then I met my hubby and he cooks them (just)..they are GORGEOUS! Also, I love them grated and sprinkled on the top of salad.. Mmmmm quite a peppery flavour!

I admit, I have never actually eaten a Brussels sprout! Perhaps I need to now.

By the way, as an educator, I love your concluding line! :-)

Love them....quartered then sauteed or roasted with a little garlic sauteed in olive oil drizzeled over them, salt and pepper...magnificent! I could make a meal of them...with a loaf of fresh bakery rustic french bread...to die for!!
