I was scarred as a child because of brussel sprouts and how utterly disgusting they were. But I've come to like them roasted with a little oil coating and some savory seasoning. I came around to asparagus and broccoli even sooner. Asparagus is good steamed but even better grilled/roasted with the oil and salt treatment. Broccoli is good steamed.

All three of those veggies were boiled to mush and forced on me as a child. When I think back to how much I hated them then and the fact that I enjoy them now, it legitimately fills me with pride that I was open minded enough to try them again.

I didn't know how they grew until the other day when that newbie (who I'm sure is a spammer, but I didn't ban yet) asked about them in another thread. It made me actually look up what they are and how they grow as I was trying to figure out how to translate them into Urdu.
