Because they are bloody grim little balls of concentrated fart
Because you’ve bloody bought them all up
Because too many people tried sprouts as kids, probably decades ago, before they were genetically engineered to be less bitte and don’t realise they taste so much differnt now. Additionally, too many people just boil their veg to within an inch of its life and any veg would taste horrible like that.
Roasted sprouts are fantastic.
Because they’re shit.
They were shit when I was a kid in the 80s and, despite the supposed selective breeding to apparently make them less bitter, they’re still shit.
People come up with all sorts of excuses to pretend they like them, “Oh but if you roast them with bacon and paprika and a small horse they taste fantastic”.
Every single recipe pretty much calls for loads of other ingredients to hide the taste of the little green balls of malevolence.
Brussels sprouts, *just say no!*
edit: I appear to have disturbed some sort of Brussels sprouts sympathisers.
It’s a windy enough forecast for Christmas as it is without the need of that many sprouts …
That looks like a painting
Because they taste bloody vile
Count me in. Sliced finely, fried with some diced smoked bacon and garlic, winner.
I was eating raw Brussels last night. I fucking love them
I can NEVER by them on the stalk!!! Whyyyyyy 😭😭😭
Also – Brussel Tops are – and i will die on this croft – THE BEST CABBAGE!!!!!
Cause it is windy enough outside already
Doing their bit for the environment I suspect. Depleted ozone layer.
Bought two bags of sprouts yesterday, they shall be roasted and then pan fried with onion and garlic. Time to break out the CO2 detector.

Because they’re rank. There I said it.

Sprouts have always been revolting to me, and are still so today
Because they’re shit.
Funny joke!
I think the real answer is because people have eaten them before.
Sprouts Mexicane
Because they are of the devil.
