Hated brussels sprouts as a kid (as well as the parental flatulence
they seemed to induce..... the old 'pull my finger' joke was
inevitable if brussels sprouts were on the table), kinda got around
to thinking they were so-so by adulthood.... Until trying my wife's
recipe of shredded brussels sprouts with hazelnuts! I think there is
some shallot and a big blob of butter too. Its become a Thanksgiving
favorite. Now I surely do look forward to brussels sprouts season.
