The reason some people dont like sprouts is that there is a chemical in them that not everyone can taste. Everyone who has the gene and can taste the chemical does not like them, everyone who can not taste it likes them.
They have been breeding the chemical out of them, so if people didnt like them in the past they should give them a try again. |

"Do you mean the favourite thing about your Christmas dinner is sprouts?
You do know you can eat them anytime? 
Nope, I mean my favourite thing about the whole of Christmas is sprouts "
Noooooooo I love sprouts but how can this be?  |

"Tea? It's dinner darling.
Tea is crumpets, toast and sandwiches...with Brussel sprouts if that's your thang."
Depends on where you come from. Dinner as a kid for me was lunch and dinner was called tea |

Mmmm you made my mouth water. I add finely sliced garlic and use a butter olive oil combo. Hot damn that’s good. |

This is controversial. You said tea!
I cooked sprouts, sautéed with lardons and chestnuts for Sunday dinner. Scrummy.  |

Brussel sprouts get a lot of bad press. If cooked correctly with a suitable accompaniment they are outstanding. It's not Christmas with out Brussel sprouts. |

After Christmas dinner look out of your lounge window.
Up and down the country you'll see what looks like proud dad's, out walking the children with their new toys. Girls pushing prams, boys with radio controlled cars.
These proud dad's are actually enjoying the long held after-Christmas dinner ritual known as "sprout walk".

It's not controversial it is infact physiological it's to do with our taste buds. Whether or not we have more or less of a certain type |
