Just halved, browned on one side in a pan in a little salted butter. Very nice, sweet with a little touch of brûlé.

Oh Babeth, I understand your fear of Brussel sprouts. My mother used to put them in a pan of water and cook them to death, ( think that is where my ‘talent’ for cooking came from 
) the house was full of the smell of overcooked vegetables. 
I had to eat them because 'they were good for me ’ and because my very strict father insisted.
It was only in very later years that I had the courage to cook them myself.
I still have a ‘thing’ about them but at least now know they should not be served up as slimy little green balls on a plate !

Yes, one is plenty for me ! And there is no much things I don’t like … Andouillette, that’s another one !

Brussels quartered and cooked swiftly in a little butter… sprinkled with a little piment d’Espelette and… if you are daring… a swirl/drizzle of melted dark chocolate … just a little… mmmmmmm

lips and arseholes is what we say in these parts when the less desirable cuts are used in a sausage. I had to spit out the andouillette.

We’ve also fallen in love with bette (Swiss chard), a very handsome and versatile vegetable with dark-green-leaves that we got as a seedling from a market nurseryman, and planted it to see what came up.
When cut for the poêle, the root-stump regrows more leaves and edible stems very quickly, and is quite delicious stir-fried or steamed especially with fish or pasta.

I’ve tried to tell Babeth, they can be delicious caramalised, I can not convince her! 
I like that Pete, with garlic and butter or béchamel sauce

For some unknown reason Peter, because I never had it as a child, I love Spinach.
Mum hates it, maybe I should overcook it and tell her ‘it’s good for her’ !
