I’ve only had brussels sprouts twice. The first time was at a Thanksgiving dinner. They were over-cooked in butter and tasted pretty bad. The butter helped, but I didn’t think I’d go for them again. The second time was the other day when I was at Whole Foods and saw their Orange Honey Glazed Brussels Sprouts. I figured that if any deli could make them taste good, then it would be Whole Foods. I got a sample and they were delicious. Crunchy, and sweet. Not even a hint of bitter. I now see that brussels sprouts can be delicious.

I’m making my way through the list of 1001 foods you must taste before you die. I saw Comice pears at Whole Foods the other day, so I had to pick one up. It tasted like a really delicious pear. I wish I had a Bartlet pear for comparison, because by itself it didn’t taste too different from what I remember a Bartlet pear tasting like.

Yum.
