And so here I am with the infamous brussel sprout and they taste delicious. That's because I found the secret; which is the GRILL! Just rub these bad boys with a mixture of butter and freshly crushed garlic and set them on the flame and something magical happens to brussel sprouts.

Always try it Twice
The first time I tried brussel sprouts was more than ten years ago and I vowed that I would never eat them again. They were bitter and mushy and yuck! They represented everything a kid hated in vegetables and it didn't help that they were green. Fast forward to today and I am shocked at myself by how tolerant and forgiving I have been to things that have offended me. I think it started with the snails. I had es cargo somewhere and they were yuck! and a few years later I was sitting at the bar in a nice place to eat and the bartender told me that for an appetizer I should try the es cargo and I said "Nah, I had a bad experience, I tried them once and I will never do it again." He told me that if I didn't like the snails that he would put them on his bill and I wouldn't have to pay for them. I couldn't pass that up. The only thing I would lose would be the refreshing taste of the wiezen, but to no delay I ordered them and I was SHOCKED, they were excellent and from that day forward I vowed to always try something twice and sometimes I have pushed the envelope to three and four times.

Here's to that sentiment!
Now, if one could only get a person (namely teenager) to realize this before they move out of the house. :)
That would be an acheivement. Unfortunately for me I was one of those teenagers that didn't eat many veggies at home. It was only when I met my hippy "GREEN" friends that I understood eating veggies were trendy and if it weren't for the trendy factor I would have never appreciated it as early as I did.
