I have little luck with cauliflower...good luck with broccoli (with the
exception of the Romanesco variety). Kale is one of my favorites; I love
to eat it.

Now, George. I am a Texian and I am right fond of lamb. And Brussels
Sprouts are almost as good as a mess pinto beans beside a big pile of
ribs. On the other hand, what the British do to both sheep (mutton) and
sprouts is criminal. The mutton is high and the sprouts have been cooked
to death. Tender sprouts steamed crisp-tender are one of the great treats
of life.
