I've been hating brussels sprouts since the '90s. I'm old school hating brussels sprouts.

Cos you're non taster while majority of humans aren't.

My aunt had a "family recipe" where she steamed Brussel Sprouts in red wine vinegar. She always overcooked them so they were always soggy and mushy and they stank to high heaven. She was so proud of them too, so we always had to eat them during any holiday. God, the dread of making my plate and knowing I had to put a big spoonful of that inedible disgusting mess on my plate to avoid offending her really put a damper on otherwise delicious feasts.
I honestly hated brussel sprouts because I thought that's just how they were until I was old enough to cook for myself and made properly roasted ones.

Stick to mountain dew

because the only way boomers knew how to cook them is the way that makes them taste like literal shit.

>>19008732
And how is that?

>>19008689
what's the tastiest way to make them?
grill? bake? broil? saute?
have some I bought and still undecided....

>>19008744
roast with olive oil, garlic powder and a little bit of mustard powder

>>19008741
Boil for 3 weeks amd no seasoning

>>19008689
i think its becuase they have the highest sulfur content of the brassicas.
i could be wrong though

>>19008689
Are you old enough to remember when they tasted like farts?
Brussels sprouts were selectively bred for about 20 years to make them taste good

They've finished breeding the bitterness out of them and people have realised that you can cook them without boiling them for too long like boomers did.

I like wrapping them in bacon and putting them in the oven

>>19008820
This is the actual reason

>Why did it become a meme to hate brussels sprouts?
when everyone's boomer parents used to only boil the fuckers for some reason, then wonder why everyone fucking hated them

>>19009870
Do you ever heard about Google?

>This brings us to genetic differences in our ability to taste food. It has been known for many years that some people are extremely sensitive to the taste of bitter substances, while others perceive little or no bitter taste.
>The former were called super-tasters and the latter non-tasters. In the middle was everyone else.

Difficult to cook right.

I've found the potsticker method works pretty well.
>hot pan
>olivölle in
add brussie halves and let sear a couple minutes
>add water to halfway up the sprouts
>cover and let simmer
>when water is evaporated remove cover, sprouts will be nicely steamed and continue to get crrispy
wala

pickerel was a rush job don't judge

>>19010473
Oh im judging

>>19008689

oil that bitch
heat to 350
throw on sprouts, spread them evenly
top with seasoning salt
cook until you feel they're ready
enjoy with whatever nigger food you faggots are enamoured with
>???
>profit

>>19010460
Cut in half, toss with oil and seasonings, roast on sheet pan. Not difficult at all.

>>19008876
This makes you wonder how much different food tastes now than it did 70 years ago.

>>19008689
1. People don't know how to properly cook them
2. They are bitter as fuck, especially if cooked wrong.
3. Producers literally had to breed the bitterness out of them to get them even semi-popular

Kids hate bitter => therefore most people grow up hating it until they have them made properly

>>19010542
Bananas are another example of something that tastes completely different in the current year.

Eggs as well are different, but heritage chickens exist still.

>>19008759
>mustard powder
HAHAHAAHA WHAT A FUCKING RETARD

>>19010451
>You just don't get it, I don't eat anything but chicken nuggies with ketchup because I'm a "super taster" and genetically superior

>>19010460
literally do anything except boil them

>>19008689
>add loads of salt and fat
>look guise it's vegetables so it's healthy

>>19010895
you eat tendies because you are autistic
I eat tendies because I am autasteic

>>19008689
Why did it become a meme that vegetables are only edible when roasted black? It's just a cope for picky adults, non-overcooked vegetables are tasty cooked just about any way if you don't have the palette of a three year old.

>>19009870
It's people who've had their taste buds fried due to being raised on sugar filled chemicals and/or smokers

>>19008820
fo real do

>>19008689
I never heard of that meme, maybe youre in the wrong crowd

>>19010913
Stfu carb muncher, go on making your children nice and big and round

>>19008741
Boil, steam, or microwave, the triumvirate of boomer cooking methods

Bake and BBQ till well done are the runners up

It's not a meme to hate brussels sprouts. they're just disgusting.

>>19008689
They may be good prepared certain ways, but those in your pic look burnt to hell and back.
