Funny how when you're a kid sprouts are horrible. Then when you are older they become really nice!

When I was a child, brussels sprouts were always overcooked. Nowadays, we keep them crisp and that is much better.

I wasn't sure if we were talking brussels or bean sprouts.

But if they taste better now, there's a reason.
