I've never been much of a Brussels sprout fan. As a child I avoided them like the plague on Christmas Day, refusing to let anyone even attempt to put one on my plate, let alone convince me to try a single bite.
As I got older I put up less of a fight about them being on my plate, as it seemed like a battle I wouldn't win, however, I still didn't eat them - until more recently when I became concerned about food waste and reluctantly gave them a go.
But it was very a case of forcing them down, and I definitely didn't like them - certainly not!
