Brussels Sprouts always seem to get a bad wrap. Mention Brussels Sprout to some people and the reaction is a look of disgust.

I think those people had some sort of bad childhood experience where they were forced to eat Brussels Sprouts that were simply not cooked like they should be, like adding seasonings, cheese, and Bacon (because Bacon makes everything better, am I right?!)

Honestly I had never been forced to eat these as a kid. In fact the first time I tried Brussels Sprouts was about 5 years ago.

I have to admit I was skeptical, but when I took my first bite… man oh man these were so delicious!
