I must say that the fresh sprouts I've seen on sale here in Hua Hin so far have been of the larger variety (almost mini cabbages
).
Funnily enough, we tried some on the grand children a few days ago. Thai kids are no different to Farang kids in that respect - they hated them
Brussels sprouts are a slow-growing, long-bearing crop that needs cool weather.They prefer to ripen in temperatures from the low 60’s to low 70’s and their flavor will be best if allowed to grow during several periods of frost. When touched by frost, the cold converts starches in the plant into sugar, giving the sprouts better flavor. Sprouts untouched by frost can be a bit bland.
Apparently...be aware that sprouts maturing in hot or dry weather will be flimsy and bitter. Brussels sprouts belong to the cole crop family (Brassica oleracea), which includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, kale, and kohlrabi.
The grand children may like them stir fried, sometimes I do it, really tasty
Not with Christmas dinner though
