Day by Dave by Dave Whamond for January 31, 2024

Think of them as tiny cabbages. (No, that doesn’t really help.)

I like them. But I have to admit, I like them a lot better with some bacon and onions. Or a nice sweet and sour glaze. Or a good dollop of chili crisp.

I like them when cooked right. Overcooked and they are pretty bad.

Hope sprouts eternal in Brussels.

Brussel Sprouts, Peas & Green Beans are 3 of my most inedible things.

For our family, it just wasn’t Christmas dinner without sprouts.

Brussels Sprouts are great!…

… for practicin’ with your Putter!

Not so much for chipping and pitching, though.

I love that mom!

I learned at an early age that if you eat your vegetables while they are hot, they are much easier to swallow, especially if you don’t like them in the first place. Once they are cold, staring at them, after everyone else has left the table, won’t make eating them any easier to choke down. So I still eat all vegetables first while they can still melt butter or cheese. .

I quite enjoy Brussels Sprouts, but then again I like broccoli and spam as well.

Brussels Sprouts = Kids in Belgium.

I love Brussels Sprouts.

When I was a child my mother would tell us that Brussel sprouts were “Howdy Doody” cabbages to get us to eat them. I agree with CMXX, quarter the sprouts and fry them in bacon grease with cut up bacon and onions. Delicious!

Hard to choke down today’s panel. But FUNNY!

No, you can NOT play Pickleball with Brussels Sprouts, NO!

My mom used to simultaneously boil a pot of water, cloves and cinnamon whenever she made Brussel sprouts. It was such a mixed message!

Always depends on how they are made.

I like them.

The eleventh greatest perk of adulthood is never having to eat those vile things again.

Maybe the toilets hungry, you could feed IT the Brussel sprouts!

I have recipe that everyone who has had it loves, even those who do not like them. I got it off a box of frozen brussels sprouts fifty years ago and tweaked it. Mushrooms cooked in butter. Cook sprouts in boiling water till tender and save the water. Brown the sprouts in butter in a skillet then add the mushrooms, minced garlic, and soy sauce cook for a couple from minutes. Add some of the save water and reduce to a sauce. Serve while still hot.

Or cabbage pits as they’re known in this household.

A Managing Partner at my firm loves them…he’s weird.

My favourite Brussel sprouts recipes are the ones that don’t include Brussel sprouts.

I actually like them…(as long as they’re swimming in butter!)

forcing a kid to eat those is child abuse… ☺

My grandmother made them once . I got the “EAT THEM!!” look from my parents . So I (begrudgingly) ate them .

“..and when your done with them, Dave, I’ll bring you the main course… broccoli and cauliflower casserole…your favorite!!”
