Not everyone has room for a garden (or an interest in gardening) like
you do. I'm quite sure I've never tasted freshly harvested brussels
sprouts. It doesn't matter because I've always liked them. IMHO, the
key if buying them at the grocery store or vegetable stand is to look
for small sprouts. The larger ones are often bitter. And buy them in
season.
