Winston Churchill had a well-known aversion to Brussels sprouts. He famously expressed his dislike for the vegetable, stating that he would rather it be banned.

Yes, they have a distinctive flavour You either love or you hate them.They are a cabbage and taste like it, when over cooked (which is common and why most people hate them) they will release a nasty tasting chemical. They can be eaten raw.
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.
