Attack of the 50 foot brussel sprout.
I have long been a fan of vegetables. All sorts, shapes and types. I haven't had a vegetable yet that I really disliked. One that I love is the humble brussel sprout. I love to experiment and I fail to see why a person can't be experimental with their food and try most anything that is reasonable. There are few boundaries that I set for myself when doing this. This is where the sprout sandwich idea came from.
Now some of you might be thinking that I've blown a gasket with this one but I don't think so. I was laughed at and mocked the other day after mentioning making a brussel sprout sandwich. But did the mocker actually try a sprout sandwich? Nooo, he did not. Yet he attacked without provocation this noble vegetable when I suggested jamming some between two slices of bread and referred to me as a loon. Ha!
If there isn't a foundation for Brussel Sprouts there should be. I will start one if I can get the proper funding. Sprout Awareness. People for the ethical treatment of brussel sprouts. Call the Sprout Hotline. Equal rights for brussel sprouts.
Better yet, I can see the next great screenplay in my head now. "Attack of the 50 Foot Brussel Sprout". I can see it rolling it's way through some main street emitting choking clouds of sulphurous gas along the way. That's the ticket. M. Night Shamaylan eat your heart out.

Though it never occurred to me before, I don't see any reason why cooked sprouts couldn't be put between two slices of bread and enjoyed like any other vegetable. I'll have to try it next time I make them.

I've always found sprouts to be very bitter. I'm guessing they could be cooked in an oil to taste better, but then, that kind of ruins the health benefits, right?

Actually, I quite like brussel sprouts.
And I am also very used to the strange sandwich genre, having been subjected to everything from mayonaise or dates(very bad, but it might be because I can't stand dates)to pecan nuts and chocolate biscuits (yes, I actually had a chocolate bisciut sandwich, and I enjoyed it) inbetween 2 slices of bread.
