I don't have the most refined palate in the world but I had brussels sprouts as a kid, and I've had them as an adult, in various styles, by different people. They have always tasted like absolute loving poison and I'd have to be seriously seriously hungry or even legitimately starving before I'd eat them again.

They seriously make me nauseous just smelling then cook.

Have you tried them coated with Nacho cheese Doritos powder and baked in a light Mountain Dew vinaigrette because it is loving insane.

except cilantro, that fucker still tastes like soap and I refuse to believe it's not genetic

It's 100% genetic

quote:

These results confirm that there is a genetic component to cilantro taste perception and suggest that cilantro dislike may stem from genetic variants in
olfactory receptors. We propose that one of a cluster of olfactory receptor genes, perhaps OR6A2, may be the olfactory receptor that contributes to the
detection of a soapy smell from cilantro in European populations

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I have never eaten Brussels sprouts or even seen them in real life outside of a grocery store. I have no idea what they taste or smell like. That's my brussels sprouts story for this thread, the PYF Brussels Sprouts Stories thread. Thanks for reading.

Wasn't there a thing that came out recently that said that the same gene controlled how some other food tasted, and if you liked cilantro, you hated this other food and vice versa? Or am I misremembering?

Brussels sprouts can be my favorite or least favorite food, depending on how they are cooked. The problem with Brussels sprouts is that if you cook them wrong/overcook them they taste like farts, if done right they are incredible. Put them on a super hot grill for like 15 seconds, just to get a little char, then finish them in a pan in butter or bacon fat, with some diced apple, chunks of bacon, and balsamic vinegar ( obviously salt and pepper to taste), and only cook them enough that they're just starting to soften up and still have a bit of a bite to them. Just try to hate them cooked properly. You can't. They're amazing.

They also give your farts a lil "je ne sais quoi" which is always pleasant.

"Thrussy," pronounced "throo-see," is slang meaning "throat pussy." The term is typically used when a person's mouth is regarded similarly to a vagina, and used as such for sexual pleasure, often roughly.

I suppose they've got potential but honestly for some of us it's just opening up old traumas. AFAIK being a foodie wasn't a thing in the 80's and "boil everything to death" was still the norm in our household. Overcooking Brussels sprouts creates organosulfur compounds, some of which which belong in the dangerous chemistry thread for their foul taste and odor. I've avoided Brussels Sprouts like the plague since being forced to eat those bitter lumps of greenery as a child, until I had to do some work on an actual Brussels sprouts farm and the bastards snuck some into my vehicle when I wasn't looking as a "thank you". They weren't as bad as I remember and I'd bet that if cooked like you say I think they'd be inoffensive to salad eaters, hell, I'm gonna print that out sometime and cook them for my parents just like that while screaming at them "THIS IS HOW YOU loving DO IT YOU CUNTS" in between slaps.

I think a lot of it's genetic, some people are more sensitive to a chemical in them that makes them taste like garbage.

Some of it, outside of how our palates develop with age, is probably also how parents attempt to force the interaction with a recalcitrant child and end up basically traumatizing them out of ever wanting to try an unknown food ever again. My friend is very much in that group. If he knows chicken or turkey has been cooked into something, he 100% refuses to touch it. I don't remember what he told me his grandmother did to him as a child but it wasn't good and shaped the way he views those two proteins for decades of his life.

I think my parents did it one of the best ways you can. Apparently when I was young, they'd serve themselves vegetables (like brussel sprouts) and wouldn't even offer it to me. I'd get inquisitive, ask why I didn't get any, and they'd just say "Oh you won't like this. It's for grown ups." Which immediately made me want to try them more than anything else on the table. I love brussel sprouts and basically every other vegetable.

Those 50's/60's/70's cookbooks that were chock full of cream of whatever soup casseroles that ruined a lot of foods for lots of kids. I thought I hated broccoli, brussel sprouts and asparagus for the longest time. One lingering effect I can't break is being super sensitive to stuff with vinegar in it. Mostly pickles. Put a pickle on something you may as well give me a giant pickle, that's all I can taste... I don't dislike pickles though.

Thank you and good night.
