Brussel sprouts are good if cooked properly.

People say that. People lie!
Although I'm not sure of the comparison, having only tasted the sprouts, I imagine Brussels Sprouts have a similar taste to feces.
Roast them and use bits of bacon and a bit of bacon grease. Cook past al dente but not soft.
One of the more popular side items in mid-upper end restaurants for at least 2-3 years or so. I can eat a small serving, but the wife can make a meal out of them. But, to each his own.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Another recipe, roast them in an oven dish. Before roasting put some olive oil on them (or butter) some garlic, salt and crushed pecans. The pecans go really well with brussel sprouts.
Definitely put olive oil and Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on most things we cook. Never thought about pecans with Brussel Sprouts. Will have to suggest it to the wife. Thanks for the tip!

Shave a little Parmesan or similar hard cheese over them when you serve. Definitely al dente, that's the most important thing. So many vegetables are actually good if they aren't cooked beyond recognition.
Adding bacon to ANYTHING makes it more palatable. Why ruin bacon with the vegetable equivalent of poop?
Like getting a summons for snorting coke.
Not for the cocaine, but for the plastic straw.
From now on I'm sticking to C-notes. It's cheaper.
Amazing. Not a porch pirate in site.
Many years ago when I had a wife and three or four thousand dollars worth of pots and pans I was experimenting with adding pecans to things. They were OK in cornbread dressing but fantastic in rice dressing. One of those things, a little real butter and I can eat brussel sprouts by the pound. Never tried pecans with them but pecans are like bacon, can't hurt added to almost anything.
An aside, my wife from Texas favored cornbread dressing. I told her when we got married that I ate rice dressing. It was only after a half-dozen years of cooking both for every major holiday that she realized I would eat plates full of either! Had she preferred rice dressing I would have said I ate cornbread dressing. I gamed that one nicely!
