The message
from "Mike Lyle" contains these words:

Now, OT. For the first time we had sprouts at Christmas din, as one
of my kids has suddenly started suffering from the perversion of
liking them.

I wonder where he/she gets the good taste from?

(D&RFC)

(I generally eat them merely because they're very good
for you: a good grating of nutmeg helps them down.) Anyhow, I
heartily recommend a variant of the Gordon, middle name F****ing,
Ramsay method. As follows.

I have always loved Brussels sprouts. Mine dew, I was brought up in
times when you ate everything unless you were actually allergic to it,
or starved.

Don't cut a cross in the base. Chuck into lots of boiling water, and
cook for exactly three minutes. Drain -- he refreshes under icy
water, but we didn't. When it's nearly time to serve, put them into a
wide pan with a good chunk of butter, and reheat while tossing them
around to coat with the butter. I added a good grating of nutmeg
during this stage. They were crunchy and pretty good.


Agreed. But add an equal quantity of boiled and peeled chestnuts before
tossing in butter...
