If you hated Brussels sprouts as a kid because they were smelly and bitter, try them again. The bitterness has been bred out

Thanks to some crossbreeding with heirloom varieties.

IIRC, the level of bitterness one tastes is genetically linked, similar to the way some people perceive a soapy taste to cilantro

I hated them as a kid. Tomorrow, I'm making them with pancetta and some balsamic vinegar. I thought my palette matured, I was wrong, they've changed! -- nm - jnine Nov 25, 09:57
I finally started liking them after about four recent tries. - Dark Callisto Nov 25, 09:22
