Brussels sprouts look and taste like little green brains. I have no idea what brain actually tastes like, but I imagine it's brussels sprouts.
Brussel sprouts are delicious. Modern versions have had their bitterness bred out. Roasted until crispy with olive oil and garlic and salt and they're fantastic.
Problem is the fools that boil or steam them. That way lies little green brains.
They taste like the worst version of a cabagge and they smell god awful while being prepared. I do believe some michelin star chef could make me a version I can eat but it would be a much more involved version not just roasted till crispy.
I promise you that roasted in olive oil with light salt and pepper until crispy is the best. But taste is relative.
I will try this
While roasting them add some diced dates, bacon, onions and maybe peppers and you have the best dish ever made
Then carefully remove the sprouts and eat the rest.
Btw, you can cook and taste brain. It's not the most common thing to find, but you can sometimes find it at a butcher shop, along with the insides of other animals
