Brussel(s) sprouts

I had my job interview yesterday. Not sure how it went. I was a bit thrown off by how I wasn’t very nervous in the moments right before I entered the board room. This could either be very good (I was prepared) or very bad (I was so unprepared that I didn’t know how unprepared I was.) I’m supposed to find out early next week.
When I haven’t been preparing for the job interview, I’ve been given more thought to brussel sprouts. And what is it about them that I don’t like. I’ve never been a picky eater. And there are few other foods that I won’t eat (raw onions and bitter melon would be on the same list as the brussel sprouts though). So why is it that my taste buds rebel against the sprout?
Here’s what the Joy of Cooking says about brussel sprouts: “Brussels sprouts (I didn’t know that the Brussel part is plural) are bite-sized green cabbages, juicy with a nutty-sweet cabbage flavour.” Nutty-sweet? I would never think of describing brussel sprouts, I mean, brussels sprouts as nutty-sweet. But obviously on someone else’s tongue, it tastes that way. Crazy.
