  I actually love the nutty taste of brussel sprouts.  I had them for the first time at a buffet in vegas.  Loved them.  After that I would try them everywhere, and you know what, most places did not cook them well.  Overcooked and mushy.  They should be al dente, soft on the outer layers and a nice texture in the center, not quite crunch, but like when you eat the stem of broccoli that's properly cooked.  I also had it where they seasonings were sweet and/or citrus, yuck!  I like mine simple, I broil them in the oven.  Remove outer leaves, halve them, drizzle in olive oil with salt/pepper, and garlic.  That's it!  Sometimes I put cumin too.
