> more into brussels sprouts now than you were when you were a kid You're not wrong, though I actually prefer oldschool sprouts. I grew some a few years back and the nostalgia hit me like a train. Super rich, earthy, bitter, and perhaps a little tougher than what you get today... We ate them a lot growing up, and that was exactly how I remembered them, yet at the store they're more like tiny, slightly bitter cabbages. Still incredibly by all means, I really love them. I eat them all through winter. Even so, I do miss the more opinionated version from my youth. One nice thing about modern sprouts is they tend to be shaped better and easier to cook consistently. The sprouts from when I was a kid were definitely less like perfect little cabbages, so cooking them now is quite a bit more convenient and reliable.
