IDK-An Exploration of the Unknown: Brussels Sprouts

Since the dawn of man, mothers and fathers all over the world felt the need to give their children vegetables. Children, feeling that veggies were gross and "icky," constantly rebelled against the colorful (but mostly green) foods, which usually caused them to stay at the table until the ate them, while the rest of the family watched t.v..

This brings us to explore the green vegetable with the bad rap: Brussels sprouts.
Brussels sprouts have long been know as an enemy of children and all that is good and happy, yet many were forced to consume these fabled greens. Due to this fact, and my parents hatred of Brussels Sprouts, I, fortunately never had the opportunity to try them.
So now come along with me on a journey into the unknown, a journey into the dark depths of the worst nightmares of children around the world. Join me in my quest to find out if Brussels sprouts are really that bad, and follow the adventure as I chronicle the exploration of my first Brussels sprout.

The journey begins:
After buying and cooking the odd looking greens the were placed on the table.
















I then sat down and prepared myself for the trial to come.
















I, apprehensive, wondered what they would taste like.
















I added salt to hopefully lessen the fabled bad taste.
















The sprouts were then cut into bite-sized pieces.
















I pause before taking my first bite.
















I bit it.
















As I chewed the sprout I pondered over its new flavor.
















Hmmmmm.......
















Hey! These are not so bad. They taste like a mix of bok-choy and broccoli.
















I think I might kinda like these. The sprouts really don't taste as bad as I think they should due to the horror stories about them. Given, they are not the best tasting thing Ive ever had, but they really are not that bad! Seriously give Brussels sprouts a chance people! You might be surprised . =]




Thank you for joining me on the exploration and don't forget to eat your veggies! Come on! You know their good.
