Brussels sprouts

There is but a single member of our little family who likes sprouts: Veerle. But, for the sake of keeping the amount of dishes limited, I eat along. We figured that our children should at least taste. Nathan is too young still to eat sprouts, and Elias hates them. But today, after I told him I disliked it too, yet I would still taste and eat several ... he agreed to do the same. And he discovered he likes them. Now, this does not mean he will like them the next time around, because he likes lasagna too, except for yesterday, when he did not. But, we feel this is a small victory that he at least tried them.
