As an avid vegetable gardener, I can say that anyone who does not like brussels sprouts has not had home grown, freshly harvested sprouts which have been nipped by frost to make them sweeter.
Quickly sauteed with butter or olive oil along with a bit of cardamom is the classic secret. They should be crunchy, sweet, and stunning. Not bitter and mushy.
