Well, was I ignorant. When I read 'sprouts', I quickly associated them with 'bean sprouts'. Which I like somewhat. Then I read about 'Brussel sprouts' and had absolutely no idea what it is. Knowing online dictionaries comes in handy at times such as these...

So, I looked it up - and found out that I should have voted differently. I've never tried them with chestnuts, but I surely like them pretty much - as long as I don't get an overly bitter bunch, that is. Though it isn't quite the season for them right now - or so I think. I've never had them for Christmas.
