"Grabs all the brussel sprouts and throws them into the special fire devoted to the elimation of the evil things!"
You mean that hell hole we call the kingdom hall? Wouldn't that...give them strength though? They'd get all big and strong and all powerfull and try to tell us how great the brussel sprouts are? It would only further their cause.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! But seriously *puts on very stern face* not the KH's as the demonic influence would indeed cause the sprouts to rise up... I have a special place for them.... The BBQ! Nothing survives that contraption, everything is reduced to charcoal, hence that will be the end of all brussel sprouts!
Peace
Goodness, dear WS (HAHAHAHA and peace to you!) - Surely, you, a 'sprout yourself, can find SOME good in the lowly and much misunderstood brussels sprout, SOMETHING worthy of redemption, even consumption? Is it truly NOT worthy of consumption by ANY?
Is there NO dish that can "save" this lowly pod? True, it may possess an odorous ardor, but can it be blamed because it cannot control its "flesh"? Is it not up to US to use IT to create deliciously mouth-watering sprout-y dishes that soothe the palate and quiet the "soul"... rather than waiting for or expecting IT to do something on its own? Or are we so righteous that we can throw stones (and/or choose, say, green beans, instead)?
The lowly brussels is what it is... made as God made it to be! Can it change it's green-ness? Can it alter its aroma (without the onions, garlic, bacon, mushroom, ginger, salt, pepper, etc., that we must add to it)? CAN A CUSHITE CHANGE ITS SKIN OR A LEOPARD ITS SPOTS??!!
No, they cannot. No more than the lowly brussels sprout can change its puke-y green color (which can actually be enhanced so as to become a LOVELY bright green, indicating its succulent vitality, if blanched first!)... or odor (which can be delicately but savorily altered by shallots, garlic, and... wait for it... BACON!).
No, no, you're right: the lowly sprout is destined for destruction.
UNLESS, that is... someone... SOMEONE... devotes their OWN culinary skills (and blood, if they happen to get too close to a knife)... and save this poor, wretched, and otherwise doomed little brassicaceae from the (barbeque grill) fire!
Who will do it? Who will go... and heat up olive oil in preparation for an offering to the god of saute-ing?
I will!
I will give my cooking skills to save this little crucifer from... well, crucifixion! But no blood - I don't do blood (and so haven't cut myself in the kitchen in years!). I'll leave the blood to the more worthy (but apparently less skilled) cooks!
Here's to the lowly Brussels Sprout... may it live long (well, long enough to make to my pan!)... and instill in all who partake of it great vitality and sense of having eaten well-prepared cuisine!!
Peace (or is that piece)... and bon appetite... to you ALL! And may the 'sprout that is WITHOUT 'sprout-i-ness cast the first stone! LOLOLOL!

Alright...I have a little secret of my own... I made them last night and liked em. XD!

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Shelby i'm crying here! (Peace to you)
But back to the issue of sprouts.... I love all sprouts barr the brussel! The brussel sprout is past saving, it's flesh is soo far past corruption it cannot be saved! The bitterness and unsavoury gasses it produces reveals the evilness behind it's little green leaves. I will continue this fight against the brussel till I take my last breath!
The brussel claims it will give you good health, yes it may but only for a short time, then it's evilness will rise up and rot your bowels! No vegetable/spice/sauce/meat can redeem the evil sprout from it's corruption...
The brussel will NEVER change it's spots, I tell you it cannot be saved! Not even the God of saute-ing can save it, it's over Shelby over I tell you!
Hand over your brussel sprouts to the fire of destruction AKA the BBQ and only then can you say you have been truly saved from temptation!
I will cast the first stone! In all sproutiness I WILL rise above the brussel and send it to it's fiery demise!
Peace
You know watersprout...if you soak those brussel sprouts in a little lemon juice and BBQ sauce ...you.....might like em off that BBQ grill.

Brussel sprouts are the reason I don't like Belgium.

Brussell sprout soup . . .
Slice the appropriate amount of Brussell sprouts thinly and saute in butter or light oil
Add black pepper, salt, herbs and seasoning according to taste while cooking.
Make white sauce using flour, butter, milk (optional) and cream.
Once sauce has thickened, add to sprouts and simmer . . . add cream or milk to obtain desired consistency.
That's all she'd tell me.
But it's delicious!
Ooh, yum, dear Size (again, peace to you!). And there's almost NUTHIN' better'n hot, creamy soup this time of year! Since cooler weather's a-comin'... I will be fixing it, soon! In the meantime, I'm gonna add this one to the new (and VERY nice, I might add!) recipe book I recently received from a very dear one for my birthday! It shall be entry No.1!
Peace!
