I’m team sprouts-are-disgusting. Traditional recipe, cut off butts, boil in plenty of water with a bit of salt. After draining, add butter and shake/mix. Then, to really make sure I’d gag, add nutmeg. Childhood trauma food. Basically it was “eat your sprouts or go to your room!”. Don’t get me started about brown beans…

I have a friend in London who gets sick to his stomach just looking at brown beans....and you know how the Brits love to put brown beans on their breakfast platter.....hence he seldom goes out for breakfast.

British breakfast is normally with white (navy) beans? Not much better but they are more firm, I can handle those, though not for breakfast. The brown ones get mushy and then when you chew it’s like mud pops out of them.

At some point my mom came with kapucijners (field pea) “no these aren’t brown beans”. So my dad and siblings were all eating brown beans and my mom kapucijners and I had to sneak out of bed at night hunting for cookies, or if all else failed eat the chocolate sprinkles straight from the package.

One of the most well-know old children books in NL is Bartje, from 1935. Movie in 1972. Still part of dutch ‘canon’ (guidelines for what children must learn in school). About this 12 y/o brat boy in a rural province in NL. His famous quote: “I don’t pray for brown beans!”. Which made him a hero, even got his own statue.
