I was in the Farmer's Market one afternoon when I saw this funky looking stick thing and I thought to myself "Self? What is that?" Upon closer inspection, I realized they were Brussels Sprouts - on a stick!
And yes, the correct term is Brussels Sprouts named for the city in Belgium. I'm not sure if they're grown on a stick and I don't care because I don't like the word stalk.
Why my child wanted his picture taken with the Brussels Sprouts is beyond me...that said, so is the Viking Helmet.
Take just one more...
Did you know they grew on a stick like this? Me neither.
Oh right, you probably don't like Brussels Sprouts. Jacob doesn't either. But, I do - except for these. This stick (well not the stick itself, I know better that to eat that - I meant the sprouts ON the stick) wasn't very good - terribly bitter. I'm told they didn't get enough water. But, everything is better with Bacon! I'll try that recipe again someday - with frozen Brussels sprouts.
