Sorry to say, they are a worst thing for me, not a best thing. (Surpassed only by lima beans.) Perhaps if you showed me how they should be cooked, I MIGHT give them another try, but that's assuming I can wear noseplugs. To be sure, you're better off without my 5-word ditty.

I've been entranced by their presentation at the farmer's market, but never quite brave enough to venture into cooking them. This may relate to my husband's childhood brussel sprout hatred that resulted in his trying to swallow one without chewing and the subsequent administration of the Heimlich Maneuver.
