What do you love?

Lots of things. The freedom to choose what I keep and what I dispose of(f) is one of them.

Brussel sprouts with butter and salt.

Worms and bugs are supposed to be a good source of protein and very tasty deep fried with salt. You go first.

Never ate a roach but I sure smoked a few.

I’ve had ants and some other bugs when I used to ride a motorcycle. Can’t tell what they were on my teeth.

I prefer not to eat anything that smells like @$$. Case in point: Brussels Sprouts. I learned that lesson the hard way with balut and have held to that rule ever since.

Yeah, just the ending though. Eat your brussel sprouts….

So I tried Brussels Sprouts, and found out that I was right all along. But if adding other stuff makes them taste better, then just eat that!

Brussels sprouts have got to be better than roaches.

Everything but mostly those things that represent a challenge.

My first and last encounter with Brussels sprouts way back when I was a little kid, they were boiled in water and you could still taste the freezer burn. I was wishing we had a dog at the time.

in some Asian countries roaches are a delicacy

That’s pretty logical coming from Elliot.

I get where he’s going with this, but man…if he can’t see the difference between brussel sprouts and a roach…
