I am willing. I will find some small ones, make sure they get nice and crispy. Garlic sounds like a nice idea and cheese makes everything better.

Cut up in halves, coated in some good olive juice, fried up until crisp (flat and domed sides if desired...) then sprinkled in fleur de sel and tossed in grated pecorino romano. To be served immediately off the stove. Not much wait here as the small infamous guys should be done up in 5-10 minutes! The smaller the better in this case we found.

I typically steam them and add salt and pepper. I have also roasted them with olive oil, onions, garlic, salt & pepper. Give them a shot, maybe they'll grow on you... I love the sprouts!

Your dad grew them at least once and they were delicious but apparently you and Ben didn't care for them. Mom When I was a kid we used to eat them boiled with butter and salt.
