I Actually Ate a Brussel Sprout!!

This may have been as big a deal as the oyster adventure was.  Mostly because I haven’t found too many people who actually have something good to say about brussel sprouts.  When I mentioned that I was going to be trying them I got comments from “They taste like feet” all the way to “You are going to have some wicked gas”!  So, Why would I try them?  Well, I figured that after I sucked down a raw, freshly shucked oyster, whole, out of the shell……how can I not eat a little green vegetable?

I did my research on how to cook them and ended up taking the advice of a co-worker.  I cut them in half, boiled them for about 8 mins, then cooked them in a cast iron pan with butter, onions and garlic until I started to see some color on them.  Used them as a side dish for baked fish, and I had a meal that I wasn’t super excited about….to be honest.

If I am going to continue to be honest, I can say that they weren’t all that bad.  I ate what was on my plate (minus the one big one that ended up there).  I would definitely be up for trying them again, with a bit more seasoning the next time.

While I was at the store buying the brussel sprouts, the asparagus was also whispering to me.  So, I have some sitting on my counter waiting for me to try.  If I can eat a brussel sprout, I can definitely eat asparagus…..and I may even like it!!
