I learned to like brussel sprouts roasted. 👍

Before I had learned to like them more....
The recipe I watched in TV was where the chef said cut the ends,, maaaay be half them, separate the leaves, and saute them for a little bit w ?olive oil.

Suppose to bring out sweetness, didn't work for me

Bell peppers, seems like they're in everything Walleye Feb 2023 #2

This! tblue37 Feb 2023 #7

I only like green ones in/on certain things, esp. if they're strong-tasting Hugh_Lebowski Feb 2023 #11

I wish I liked them but I just can't handle them Walleye Feb 2023 #26

Walleye, I get the migraines from shrimp. Love shrimp but can't eat it. debm55 Feb 2023 #35

I like onions, so not liking them isn't related to being a super taster. wnylib Feb 2023 #67

Onions taste extremely bitter to me, even more than Brussels sprouts. Ocelot II Feb 2023 #68

Might be due more to the type of onion. wnylib Feb 2023 #70
