One of the reasons so many people dislike Brussels sprouts is the method of cooking. In many cases, these vegetables are simply overcooked by boiling, causing them to become mushy and release an unpleasant odour, rather like rotten egg gas. It is better to steam, roast or stir fry them in order to bring out the best flavour.
Apart from that, there is an actual specific gene present in a large number of people that make Brussels sprouts taste bitter to them.

It is all a matter of opinion though. I hate boiled cabbage but Brussels sprouts well cooked are my favorite vegetable. perhaps they are cooked incorrectly.

Why do people eat brussel sprouts?
i hav no idea. if u eat brussel sprouts then u r WEIRD! ---- Because it's healthy and some people (like, um, er, me) like the taste of sprouts. I grew up eating frozen brussel sprouts and couldn't stomach them my whole life until I met my husband. He grew up on fresh brussel sprouts that his mom steamed. The key is to not over cook them and add butter, salt and pepper. If they're too overcooked they get bitter and if they're not done enough their no fun to eat!
How many minutes do you steam brussels sprouts?
Take a plain old pot. Fill halfway to three quarters full with water. Put some brussel sprouts in the pot. Turn on your stove burner. Put lid on pot. Wait until you look down and see bubbles in the pot. Take the lid off. Stick a fork into one of the brussel sprouts. If it is tender, they are ready. If not, keep cooking. When tender and fork comes out cleanly, turn off stove burner. Take pot off stove. Eat brussel sprouts, but careful, they're hot. Enjoy.

Are taste buds different between an adult and a child?
Yes because they change in age just like you.For instance, a child's sense of sweetness is less developed, and it takes more sugar to feel overwhelmed (and it seems more special. On the other hand, children are very sensitive to bitterness compared to adults, thus leading to their general dislike of Brussels Sprouts, and dark greens vegetables-- the bitter taste is so much stronger to a child.
