Supposedly they used to be a lot more bitter until modern varieties had it bred out. Might just be a meme from that. But when prepared properly they're actually a little sweet. I like them just with a bit of vinegar either steamed until soft or roasted until a little crispy.

They are very bitter, and kids don't appreciate bitter foods, plus most parents suck at cooking and don't know how to make them taste good. If you don't know, you have to either grill/broil them until they caramalize, fry them in bacon fat, or boil them with sugar added.

cook a sausage of your choice (I used andouille most recently,) sliced into circles

remove browned sausage and cook all vegetables in the grease, along with about a half cup of stock
sautee vegetables on medium heat until potatoes are cooked through and sprouts are thoroughly caramelized, adding the cooked sausage, minced garlic and thyme ~5 minutes before you stop cooking
