You should have got them on boiling a good week ago if they're to be ready for Xmas dinner.

Never like sprouts, especially smell, same as green runner beans, the small of it when boiled make me feel actually sick - still don't know why, it just do.

Looks like a photo of a mobile Farmer's Market with a few kinks yet to be worked out.
Those are Brussels sprouts (just learned how to spell the word from Google), right? With lots of butter, salt and vinegar, what's not to love? They taste healthy.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

We steam ours and add a little pepper.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

We cut them in half and fry them with Chorizo put the pan lid on and let them steam.

Could be your sense of smell that is directing your sense of taste, scientific studies have found that people who don't like coriander, it is the smell they don't like.

Yummy, sprouts, a bit cooked and fried with butter, pepper and nutmeg, or indeed just halved and fried on the flat side, and then burn them a little bit with a flame.

But vinegar with them? For me that's like the running gag in Asterix and Obelix in Brittany, about the mint sauce.

I like sprouts - boiled for 15 minutes, with butter and pepper. But we won't be having them for Christmas, that'll be roast meat and roast veg only - bang it all in the oven, walk away for an hour and a half, take it out and eat it. No fuss, no mucking about.

That sounds right up sprouts' alley in terms of complementing another food. I have to stop reading these kinds of posts when I'm hungry.

 

[DavidDetroit]

Sprouts have too unique of a flavor for me to expect them to be liked by the majority of people coming over for Christmas dinner.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Do you guys in the US eat them?

 

[johncrobinson]

I find they only smell "bad" after a few hrs when they have cooled.
Other than that personally i love em.

I was going to say something similar, shredded and fried off with some bacon makes an amazing side, just a bit of a faff.
