Funny thing about sprouts.  They are very good raw, and wonderful roasted, fancied up as Helen has suggested or even rather plain with just a bit of butter and maybe some garlic.  But boiled?  I simply cannot abide them!  Of course, I am the same way about a lot of things, like spinach – love it raw, can eat it all day raw, but cooked?  Can't stand it!

I hear 'ya on the boiled 'sprouts, Pete…boiled, they are gross , but roasted, with all the brown, carmelized bits, they are sublime.  I should add:   you can toss them with bacon crumbles and maple syrup…drizzle them with cream, dot with butter, sprinkle with cheese and bake 'till bubbley…, the list goes on and on, LOL.

p.s. Don't mind me, I an old lily-gilder from way back ;)  I'm of the "Buzby Berkley" school of cooking.
