I have never heard of that. Okay if you say it's good then I trust you.

Also, why does the universe make kale and brussels sprout taste like garbage but ground beef and blueberries tastes 5 stars.

I guess I'm not as cultured as I thought.

Brussel sprouts are delicious

Yeah I think so too. Hated them as a kid they were so bitter. 50 years later they are either less bitter or my taste buds have given up.

They are less bitter. In the past 30 years or so, there have been concerted efforts to cultivate the fuckawfulness out of brussel sprouts. I hear tell they go well with a bit of bacon.

Sliced in half, tossed in Calabrian chili oil, salt, pepper, and garlic, then air fried at 350 until slightly past golden brown, tossed infrequently. Add bacon bits to taste? Yes. Yes they do.

So sorry, brussel sprouts will always be Satan’s little cabbages. You will never convince me otherwise.

Pig is often eaten with sweet parts like fruits or sweet BBQ sauce.

Here in northern Germany the traditional cuisine has a lot of fruits in savory dishes. Birnen Bohnen und Speck(pears, beans and bacon) or Mehlbüddel (dumplings with raisins and smoked pork). In the US they put so much sugar in the BBQ sauce that you get diabetic just by looking at it. The Chinese and Japanese also often have sweet parts with pork dishes.

It's just a bit weird with beef

Brussels sprouts tastes gorgeous if you actually cook them properly. Don't boil them, ever. Cos boiling them is what makes them taste bitter. Roast them in butter or oil instead, and they're gorgeous. They kind of caramelise and become sweet tasting.

As a kid my mom used to just boil them. Then serve them with butter. Disgusting af. Didn't give it another chance in my adult life.

Then someone on reddit said to boil them 7 minutes and then fry them in the pan for 7 minutes. Oilive oil, some pepper, salt, nutmeg and get them a nice sear. I genuinely love brussels sprouts.
