Are there foods you used to hate that you like now? What changed?

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I’m sure we can’t be talking about the same thing?

Being forced to eat it as a child I just can’t imagine it ever being good?
I don’t mind other frozen veg, edamame beans, spinach, green beans, sweetcorn and even brussel sprouts (for brussel sprout mash) are all fine by me but mixed veg.. oh dear the thought brought a little bit of sick back up

We have those as well. They're much much better than the stuff from the 70's and 80's.

although I don't think I've ever had them roasted

I prefer them roasted. That's how I had them this week with one of my salads. Prep as usual, helps to put the cross through the stem and about ⅓ to ½ way through, toss with a little oil, s&p and into the airfryer for 10-12 minutes.

‘Karadekoolaid’ and ‘aifryer’ in the same sentence. Hope you have enough credit in the bank to risk putting those words together

though it's a PITA peeling off the leaves unless you can get really big ones.

We don't typically peel the leaves off brussel sprouts. They're eaten as is, whole. I will take 2 outer leaves off but that's it. I've never eaten them peeled as you do them.

Would you call those ‘chips’ though?
I think Medtran is referring to making crisps by frying the individual leaves in oil

I know they're is someone on here who serves sprouts deleafed in salads as well.

Ah yes I’ve made crispy sage as a topping before and that was lovely.

Yes! Me too, I don't remember exactly what I used it with but I sauteed it in butter/olive oil in a saucepan. It probably was fish.

I can’t remember either, will probably ping back in to my mind at 4am

When you are baking them to make chips you kind of have to peel them.

 

[medtran49]

What does ‘chips’ mean? Fried?
Brussel sprout chips sounds like something I’d like.

Recipe - Celery root with cashew/harissa cream, and crispy brussel sprout chips

Oh yes, that's much healthier than what I had in mind.

 

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

Me too.
Looking forward to dot trying it out.

‘Karadekoolaid’ and ‘aifryer’ in the same sentence

I've got some Brussels sprouts in the freezer. I may just put a few in my wife's hair flyer, crank it up to 500C and leave it on for an hour or two

Prep as usual, helps to put the cross through the stem and about ⅓ to ½ way through,

Now there's something I stopped doing years and years ago. Like you, I only take off the really scruffy leaves outside; but I don't cut a cross in the base. I've never noticed a huge difference, cross or no cross.
