Re: Brussel sprouts
Can be seasonal, you might have difficultly getting round Christmas
My mate tried everywhere bu could only find the huge ones. It wasn't until April I could find them easily. Markets might be better than supermarket stores. This is for Sydney.

Re: Brussel sprouts
I bought some last week from our local Lebanese greengrocers- but have not seen them in Coles yet. The Lebanese shop always has in-season veg, this might be the case in most places, so you may need to try smaller independents to find them.
They were delicious!

Re: Brussel sprouts
Don't forget that Brussels sprouts are a winter vegetable and winter hasn't started yet. No sprouts that you find in the shops right now are going to be the best - wait a couple of months until they're properly in season and they'll be fine.
I usually pick out my own spouts from the pile - search for the smallest ones I can find and they're fantastic. Leave the giant ones behind. Woollies were selling pre-packaged 'baby' sprouts last year and they were really nice, too.

Re: Brussel sprouts
I like them steamed with butter and parmesan cheese. Yum. Funny, I never tried them until I was about 30. My mother doesn't like them so she never made them. Poor old thing doesn't know what she's missing.
