Are you British?

But seriously...

Crunchy Brussels sprouts? The thought is revolting!

Just a slight crunch.... al dente. It's a nice texture and a good taste.
When cooked until soggy they develop a nasty taste.

I used to think that way when I had only had then overcooked. When I tried
them cooked properly there were very tasty. I still won't eat them soggy.

Pardon me for a moment...

(ack, ack, gag!, retch, ack, ack, ack... argh!)

I disagree.

<"if we took the bones out, they wouldn't be crunchy, would they!">

It's funny, but when I was little, I adored brussle sprouts.
Last couple of times I tried them, they were vile.
Can't help but wonder if the difference is that my parents grew them?

I might have to try them at least one more time, but slightly
undercooked sounds like a good idea. We eat our brocolli that way. :-)

Cheers!

I think any cooked vegetable benefits by that method. For instance,
I'm not a fan of cooked carrots... but they are much better slightly
undercooked.
