I love everything about that recipe but the brussels sprouts.
Just add more bacon, cream, and cheese. You won't even notice them.
Or substitute something that's not the Devil's vegatable (this rules out brocolli and cauliflower, among others).

Brussel sprouts are evil, and there's no preparation on earth that can make them taste other than nast.
This must be how cilantro haters feel.

It's got to be something that stands up to the saute. You might consider asian peapods or fresh corn.

GF love brussels sprouts but I'm not a fan. They taste like poison!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've had brussels sprouts done right, and they're... okay. They're scarily easy to turn bitter and evil with just a wee bit - like, seconds - of overcooking.
Or substitute something that's not the Devil's vegatable (this rules out brocolli and cauliflower, among others).
Whyfor the cauliflower hate? What does it taste like to you? To my tongue, it's inoffensive, a nice vehicle for all my favorite sauces since it doesn't interfere with them, but really just too nondescript to warrant hatred.

The creaminess of the dairy really takes the edge off any bitterness from the sprouts.

This sounds like another one of those supertaster/rest of us issues, because I never worry about overcooking brussels sprouts. Cooked in the oven with olive oil/salt/pepper, the more you cook them the more browned and delicious they get. (I mean, you don't want to burn them or turn them to mush, but IME they get sweeter, not bitterer.)

Thrive to spite them
I don't have a good segue into this but has anyone seen the new PETA ad featuring Alicia Silverstone (it's on youtube if you haven't seen it).
It's not really work safe. Alicia emerges out of a swimming pool totally nude (with a rear shot) and then lies on the edge of the pool and poses, there's a voice over where she's saying something about how she feels better being a vegetarian.
Over on the vegetarian forum I'm on I said I didn't like it because it objectifed women and it was sexist, pushing the idea of sex more than vegetarianism. However, there are a few people (men and women)who are saying that I'm over reacting and the ad has nothing to do with sex at all. There's no sexual imagery in the ad it's just showing a healthy body and what someone can look like if they go veg. But no sex
Am I over reacting? I see it and all I see is seduction and sex, I can't really see how it's just about showing what a healthy vegetarian can look like.
Is BaconSalt vegetarian? I miss bacon flavor in somethings and BACOs, while good on salads and baked potatoes aren't that great for cooking.
