Anyone from the UK?

Why do they only get an outing once a year? Like sprouts. But we know why sprouts don’t, they are mostly evil (yeah yeah I know roast them in bacon and garlic and they are nice, but everything is nice in bacon and garlic)
Personally, I like them in small doses. Straight up boiled, but they're like broccoli where they are far better when still firm and not soggy (is anything good soggy, haha!). When I can, I buy them on the stalk too.

There is a genetic aspect to this. People with a certain form of TAS2R38 (aka the PTC) gene will perceive sprouts and other brassicas as tasting bitter.

Personally I love sprouts, especially dipped in chocolate!
