I actually prefer to eat them raw. A cup a day before sleeping. They act as sleeping pills for me
You get used to the taste and learn to enjoy it, same as with beer except they are good for you and increase hair density. It’s a real life equivalent of ent water
I just bake them with a little oilve oil, salt and rosemary. That’s all it takes. If I have the time I boil them for 5 minutes before cutting them in half and baking them.
Selective breeding does play a role but also how you prepare them. Just like other brassicae if you cook them for too long they start smelling bad, so you want to use high heat and relatively short cooking times.
For example. My go-to approach is to cut them into halves and pan-fry in lard. High fire. People claim it’s delicious.
Right, when I was growing up, always steamed or boiled - absolute trash. Just throw them on a pan under the broiler with some oil and salt/pepper chefs kiss
I’ve had this discussion before, had the “proper way” of preparing them explained to me and made them according to these instructions. Turns out, I just don’t like the taste. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Individual tastes are a thing, too. At least someone out there is bound to dislike even the most beloved dishes; the thing, for me, is how many people claim to hate Brussels sprouts, even if they deserve some leafy and greasy love.
People have some hate boner against Brussels sprouts, but damn - if you know how to prepare them, they’re delicious.

Look, anything pan fried with butter, salt, black pepper, bacon and a little white wine is going to taste great…

Sliced in half and deep fried—in case anyone was wondering.
Shallow fry works just fine… no need to smother them
Why Brussels sprouts no longer taste bitter

I mean, things fried in lard do usually come out delicious.
