Brussels Sprouts



This much maligned vegetable which I happen to enjoy (I would not say 'love') as part of my diet has received a setback from the British Royal Navy. Quite frankly, my personal opinion regarding the decision and the reasoning behind it is "WTF?" One individual with a specific dislike for a vegetable and others have to do without. It makes no sense.

When cooked properly, BS's are delicious. As the article points out, they are also high in essential vitamins i.e., they are really good for you. Given the high salt, high sugar, high fat, high carbs, low fibre, pre-processed diets that a large (emphasis on that word) proportion of the western world is currently favouring, I would take sprouts any time.
