They're still just as nasty. I'm thinking the same thing with liver. I haven't tried it in about 30 years, but I'm sure it's just gross and icky. Some things are just not meant to be eaten, especially by picky kids. The first time my kids try these foods, they are going to be adults, so they can keep an open mind.AdriansCrazyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463022076036044242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-33216970499251695352011-05-20T15:23:22.946+12:002011-05-20T15:23:22.946+12:00You'll think I'm weird, but I love brussel...You'll think I'm weird, but I love brussels sprouts.

They looked like triffids (or what i imagine they would look like). We were over-run by them and he couldn't believe that we weren't able to give them away. He thought we could take them to the Farmer's Market and sell them. I talked him out of it...Lynshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217548525886139895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-3579274244337828202011-05-20T06:08:52.075+12:002011-05-20T06:08:52.075+12:00Even though I L O V E the sprouts I really enjoyed...Even though I L O V E the sprouts I really enjoyed your post :)mryjhnsnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957396450720425382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-31987992481454525382011-05-20T05:13:09.280+12:002011-05-20T05:13:09.280+12:00My husband thinks they're yummy.
