Geckos and Schnauzers seem like odd things to make food out of but I guess if you don't have anything else.

I have trouble making sauteed sprouts because I keep eating them all out of the steamer before I finish browning them.

theyve been genetically engineered between the late 90s to mid 00s to taste better. peeps might just have made up their mind before then or they mightve gotten a laggard farm's sprouts

I'm not bougie so I don't think I was ever served them before the 2010s. (They weren't common here before that.) They have a p strong taste. I guess it's bitter? But not unpleasant.

Didn't they become bitter and less pleasant tasting in the mid-twentieth century due to those being the varieties that produced the most, and then in the later twentieth century those varieties were bred to taste better? Or am I misremembering that?

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
Also in the UK at least they suffer from being an obligatory part of Christmas dinners so if you had a badly cooked one of those (inevitable if your parents are boomers/you ever ate a school Christmas dinner) then you would have had the additional issue of your heightened sensitivity to bitter tastes combining with overcooked sulphurous sprouts making you think they're awful. Once I reached adulthood and had some well cooked sprouts I was converted.

They have a strong earthy, savoury taste, bit like mushroom but not quite, little bit like sweetcorn? Very good. Optimal form of brassica oleracea imo.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Never had sprouts before I ordered some that were simmered and served in a chili broth from a Thai place. That was loving amazing.

I was given sprouts as a child in the 70s and 80s and they literally made me vomit. I think some people are more or less sensitive to something in them that tastes bad to some? But even if they now taste great I just don't associate them with enjoyment so they are dead to me. Please eat all the sprouts you see, so they don't end up near me.

A Dutch guy fixed them in the late 1900s so they don't taste so bad any more.

Look, I'm an Australian and this means Brussel sprouts were served to me as a kid in the 80's after being boiled in water. They didn't really work with sauces when done this way. They were not my most disliked food but I never enjoyed them.

If you pan fry (or deep fry) them they elevate from this. They at least take on other flavours. You can also roast them and they turn out okay.

Just don't boil and serve.

Describe the pre-repair cultivars of brussel sprout as "sulphurous" does conjure a nasty image.

#2 isn't ALWAYS bad...

Ya, the 80s were a decade of boiled vegetables in the US too.

Peas? BOIL THEM.
Green beans? BOIL THEM.
Brussel sprouts? BOIL THEM.
Carrots? BOIL THEM.
Corn? BOIL IT.
Spinach? BOIL IT.

Boiling is basically the cooking method of last resort, yet my mother did it to everything. I like all those vegetables, raw, steamed, roasted. All are delicious.

Boiled, they’re universally repulsive.

I blame the English. The northeast still cooks like that.

As a child in the 80s, I learned how to swallow pills by being forced to eat my helping of VEG-ALL and just chasing fork fulls of that boiled poo poo down with a swig of milk. I still hate most vegetables to this day and only part of that is my texture issues.

I love brussels sprouts now but when i was a kid my parents always just steamed them and they were nasty. I did the dishes most nights and have a permanent sense memory of dumping the steamer water down the drain

I will usually roast or pan fry sprouts but I still steam them sometimes if they're being served with something that's a bit rich and I don't want to oil them up. They're nice both ways

Jack Tripper's wingman.

When serving canned veggies as a side, my grandmother always drained the water from peas/corn/green beans and then heated them up in (boiling?) milk. Then drained and served like that.
I've no idea why she used milk, but I don't remember them being bad. But the talk of boiled veggies brought an old memory to the surface.
