Turns out I don't actually dislike vegetables, I just dislike how my mother's and grandmother make them. Did you know they can be served with colour still on them?

Turns out I love Brussels sprouts, so long as you don’t cook them til they’re grey.

Also, the new cultivars are WAY less bitter. You can still grow the old type yourself at home, and it's really a huge difference.

This is the important part. Modern Brussels sprouts are NOT your grandma's sprouts from the 1990s or earlier. From wikipedia :

In the 1990s, the Dutch scientist Hans van Doorn identified the chemicals that make Brussels sprouts bitter: sinigrin and progoitrin.[11] This enabled Dutch seed companies to cross-breed archived low-bitterness varieties with modern high-yield varieties

I really like boiled Brussel spouts from the 70s.
