        I hate to tell you this, and this may be generalising, but I've always found that many women have an almost morbid desire for sprouts. My wife particularly loves them. Personally, I could take them or leave them. Think about it though, if you had to prepare the damned things, would you bother? I know I wouldn't - they're a PITA to do, peeling them, washing them, throwing away the bad ones, peeling away the bad bits of ones that are otherwise OK, etc. X| "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff!

          How can you countenace the cruel separation of all those poor children from their mother stem at such a young age? Sprout eating is by far the cruelest form of vegetable consumption.

          MOO!!

                    I occasionally feed a brussel sprout to my fish. They seem to enjoy it.

Yes, and in fact I recommend the chat-up line, "so I bet you like sprouts then?" ;) actually having never known a "chat-up line" to ever "work" "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff!
