It says here that almost one in four people taste bitterness in
brussels sprouts, so I guess it's them and not the sprouts that are to
blame. So, beet, cilantro and now brussels sprouts people. It's you,
not the plant, so stop it already. The rest of us will continue to
enjoy them.

Fine, eat all of these vegetables you want but don't chide the rest of
us who can't abide those bittle little cabbages and no, it is not from
my childhood. And Jennifer Chen is full of baloney with her silly
statements.

There are three cooked foods that taste totally vile to me. Okay I'm sure
there are more but of the vegetables it would be broccoli, Brussels sprouts
and asparagus. I am not overly fond of cooked cabbage or cauliflower either
and can't bring myself to eat more than a bite or two. Those things do not
taste bitter to me though. Just really, bad. I can eat broccoli raw. I
don't like it so much but it doesn't taste horrid that way. I LOVE cilantro
and beets though.

Raw cauliflower is one of those things I can eat a piece or two of raw. But
the taste is much stronger to me than raw broccoli. The only problem I have
with those things now is that I don't digest them.

Raw cauliflower is excellent pickled/marinated, especially good in a
marinated bean salad. Also if one reads the ingredients list on some
brands of pickle relish it contains cauliflower, not cukes... I like
those with cauliflower better, less watery.

Brussels sprouts are a big crop on Lung Guyland... the reason some
find them bitter is because they buy those that are too old... even
regular head cabbage becomes bitter when it's been around too long
after harvest. Freshly picked brussels sprouts makes the Champagne of
cole slaw.

I'm not a fan of that kind of salad. I always loved the concept of bean
salad because I love beans but I dislike the dressing it is in. Really the
only pickled foods I like are beets and cucumbers.
