When I discover someone I know is a picky eater or has an aversion to
a certain type of food I take it upon myself to cure them of this
unfortunate affliction. I sometimes imagine it as my divine calling in life to prove that
most things have the potential to be delicious when done right or maybe
I'm just neurotic. Either way it gives me an excuse to tinker in the
kitchen.
Unfortunately almost everyone has at least one food item that has gotten on their
no eat list, even me (green bell peppers and black olives unless they exist on a supreme pizza or I'm being polite). Often the offending food is a vegetable, the most common vegetable on
S^&$ list happens to be brussel sprouts. Poor brussel
sprouts haven't earned the bad rap on their own they've had the help of
many cooks who were probably good cooks but they didn't have the
Internet or the variety available to the modern kitchen and maybe, just
maybe they believed in the idea that if it tastes bad it's probably good
for you... Anyway.. This post is being written for all the naysayers
in particular one naysayer friend who didn't believe me when I said even
the brussel sprout can be delicious.
