it’s not that we don’t like them - but more that they’re more winter/holiday focused (speaking generally), and usually roasted rather than fried.
But also, Brussels are on the menu everywhere in the US. middle of July, at a bar, get a side of Brussels. I don’t think Brussels are served commonly at Sunday lunch year round in the uk.
Where in the U.S.? Lots of people hate them. In fact, I’ve never seen a side of Brussels sprouts just given to you as a side. Maybe it’s an option, but there are always other options.
DC area checking in. They are super popular right now, especially roasted or deep fried. Fortunately, I haven’t seen anyone serving the boiled nasties my mom used to make…
What region if you don’t mind me asking. I’ve lived in a couple of US states on the west coast and I’ve never encountered Brussel sprouts so casually and definitely never fried.
It’s usually in a part of a dinner at a ‘nice’ sit down restaurant and always roasted in the oven.
Cool. But that’s also what people didn’t like about them.
Also, without growing an old strain yourself, I’m not sure where you’re getting bitter ones these days.
Since when do the British not like Brussels sprouts?

Me and my sister don’t like them so that’s at least 2 of us
George Bush Sr. famously hated them. For some reason, people found that funny. I didn’t get it then and I still don’t get it.
They used to taste far more bitter. Then in the late 90s, a breeder was able to remove that flavor.
I liked them bitter.

Since they left the EU and now anything from Brussels costs more
We like sprouts.
