I'd have trouble finding *fresh* tiny brussels sprouts this time of
year. They're a cool weather crop and it's already very hot around
here. I buy frozen brussels sprouts, they're just fine. But they
aren't the tiny ones dalep is finding in Denver. I suspect the
weather/location has a lot to do with that.
