It’s crazy. They have absolutely zero flavor raw in a salad, but cook them, and they are instantly the most disgusting thing short of actual vomit I can think of. Previous Message My wife has fallen in love with a fried brussels sprouts appetizer at one of our favorite restaurants, and the smell that permeates all 3 levels of the house when she heats up the leftovers is tantamount to a war crime. I think I need to find an equally pungent good-smelling food that I can coincidentally decide to subsequently warm up in the air fryer or microwave any time this happens.

You won't have to abide by one more nuked sprout for the rest of your life. I agree with your wife that neo-sprout dishes are good, but I can't imagine re-heating them. They're great off the grill.
