(even after coming to love the entire rest of the brassica family and every other vegetable/weed eaten by anyone anywhere, leaving those awful balls from Brussels as a final lonely hold-out!)<br /><br />But one miraculous day, after half a century of hating, my mother, a very fine chef, tried to get me to eat them yet once again, and lo-and-behold it magically worked!<br /><br />For most of us veggie lovers who just can't swallow them, all that's needed is to CORE THE DAMN THINGS! I would ask: Do we eat a regular cabbage core? Of course not. So we don't recognize how intense the cabbage flavor is in the core. Brussels sprouts are really just tiny cabbagy sprouts and have that same super hard-core intensity in their cores, but, thanks to recipes like this, we really DON'T HAVE TO EAT THEM!<br /><br />What a miraculous epiphany!<br /><br />Thanks Barry and Meta for a new recipe for this EX-Brussels sprouts hater. I'll try it next time those lovely branches of sprouts are in season again.<br /><br /> <br />elisevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433800153143252355noreply@blogger.com
