Confessions of a Brussels Sprout Lover
Let’s be honest: Brussels sprouts haven’t always had the best reputation. Back in the day, they were the vegetables that secretly disappeared under the table, in the hope that the family dog would save the day. But times change. Nowadays, Brussels sprouts are totally hip. Roasted, crispy, wrapped in bacon, or drizzled with balsamic vinegar: they have become a real favorite, even for people who once swore never to touch them.
If you belong to the Brussels sprouts fan club, you will surely recognize these signs.
1. You get strange looks when you say you like vegetables
But Brussels sprouts aren’t just any vegetable. They are *the* vegetable: you can roast them, bake them, mix them into a salad, or put them on a pizza. You don’t like *all* vegetables. You like *these*.
2. You wonder if you are turning into them yourself
You eat them several times a week.
