I don't know how you got confused during this thread but you're
thinking of rutabagas and beets. Obviously.

I love those too... Rutabagga sticks are wonderful for dipping
bluecheese dressing. I like ruttabagga raw, cooking makes them taste
awful... turns that crisp texture to sludge.
I buy cans of sliced beets by the case, I can eat pickled beets non
stop. I like fresh beet tops too, better than spinach. The produce
manager in town gives me all I can carry for free because when people
buy fresh beets they tear off the tops and leave them to compost,
sinful.

Little you know... fresh brussels sprouts make the caviar of cole

I guess yoose must dumpster dive at the store, because stores don't have
compost bins.

They should take those tops home so's they can throw them out of their
windows if they don't eat them.

Popeye prepares his sprouts by freezing them. Then he inserts a couple
up his bum. Keeps him nice and cool while he drives his tractor all day.

Here's maybe the difference, Sheldon. Frozen or "fresh from a
grocery store" are all a fail to me. I've tried several ways. YOU
however, harvest stalks of very fresh boys. That garden freshness
might be the difference. It probably is. (I saw that pic you
posted of them a few years ago)

I love brussels sprouts. I do not love "slaw". Wouldn't matter if it
was made with shredded brussels sprouts right off the stalk. It's the
dressing and chilled shredded cruciferous vegetables I dislike.

I used to hate them. Then I learned to cook them until there is just a
slight crunch. They are quite tasty and I enjoy them once in a while. I
tire of them quickly.... not as quickly as I do with cauliflower.

My wife and I shared a sentiment about coleslaw a few days ago. It is
something we rarely make and rarely buy. On Friday night she went to
the Lion's club fish fry in town for fish and chips and she bought a
side of coleslaw. It is a small tub which is basically a serving for one
person. We each had a small serving if it and saved the rest. We each
had a small serving of it with our supper on Monday, and there was still
some left. We decided that it is the sort of thing that is okay once in
a while, but only a little bit at a time.

There's a new batch growing now, we grow brussel sprouts every year,
they're best harvested after a light frost.

Funny how people's tastes very, even among the non picky eaters. My wife
will eat just about any vegetable, but she will not eat beets. She is
not likely to eat lima beans or rapini wither, but she has a special
dislike for beets.

My apologies. We get Canadian and Norwegian Atlantic Salmon, and we get
Coho, King, Sockeye and the rest of the Pacific Salmon from domestic
supply. I don't live very far from the Pacific Coast, but I prefer
Atlantic Salmon.

Because after a heavy frost, they get frozen, and Popeye can't resist
using them for buttplugs, so they never reach his dinner plate.

A heavy frost will freeze them solid and kill the plant, making the
sprouts the same as buying frozen. With all cruciferous veggies a
light frost forces the plant to produce more sugars and eliminates the
bitterness. If there's too much rain I'll harvest my cabbages early
or they will grow too fast and will split, otherwise I wait for the
first light frost. Regardless, fresh picked cabbage tastes far better
than old storage cabbage sold at stupimarkets. Most brussel sprouts
sold in the US are from CA, grown near the coast where there's never
any kind of frost and that's why so many don't like brussel sprouts
because of their bitterness. Long Island grows a lot of brussel
sprouts and they are much nicer than those from CA because Lung
Guyland experiences frosts. Brussel sprouts grow best near the sea,
they like the salt air and fog.

That's not something I said, I don't sex brussel sprouts.
Brussel sprouts should grow very well in Scotland, especially near the
sea. One plant gives a lot. We grow twenty plants and have plenty to
give away.

I doubt that. Sprouts are a typical Dutch winter vegetable and the
Netherlands often has heavy frosts. They don't kill the sprouts.

Remember, Popeye lives in an extreme artic climate at 40,000 ft.
elevation. Hell, it likely gets down to 50 degrees below zero.

So do I. I prefer cold river caught trout to largemouth bass and

Used to dislike both, but changed to a point.

Pickled beets with onion, garlic, olive oil

Sweet potato sliced and roasted. Still dislike them boiled.

Yes, I guess that at temperatures that only Popeye can withstand,
sprouts give up.
