It may be you've always eaten older mature brussel sprouts. I discovered a
long time ago small "baby" sprouts are nowhere near as bitter, sprouts
becoming more bitter as they grow. Try some really small ones.

I steam them for about 7-8 mins, top w/ real butter, and sprinkle with a good
fresh grated parmesan or pecorino. Yum!
