I've never much liked Brussels Sprouts. But I imagine I've never had them prepared properly. I'm sure they could be tasty, done right!
Most folks buy 'em frozen and then cook them too long so they're all mushy. And since they're processed with the cores, they're bitter.
To get the best flavor/results, the core should be removed (I do a "V" cut at the bottom of each sprout). I steam them, add lemon and butter, and then devour 'em.
I love fresh asparagus, too!
