    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.

            While roasting them add some diced dates, bacon, onions and maybe peppers and you have the best dish ever made

                  Is there a name for this recipe? Wouldn’t mine trying it still. What’s the origin?

                    It might have a name but I honestly have no idea. Went to a nice butcher shop in new york that had a nice restaurant on the side and they had it on the menu. To be honest I don’t know if I’ve had it anywhere else. I reverse engineered it after the dinner to make at home cause it was just that good, one of my favorite dishes to make if I’m having company over cause it’s literally impossible to dislike. The date/bacon/brussel sprouts combo has that perfect mix of savory/sweet/smokeyness.
