Answer 1

..Sound like he might have been in a contest ..lol
I dont think eating 50 in under a minute is a good idea


Try this for a different way then just steamed or boiled ..

Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta, Garlic and Basil
1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 oz pancetta, thin slices
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 basil leaves, shredded
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
olive oil
salt, hot sauce to taste

Trim the base of the sprouts and remove the dirty, dried-out outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half and then with a V-shaped cut remove the core. Grasp both sides of the sprout-half, with your thumbs on opposite sides of the core cut, and bend the sprout to spread the leaves slightly. (This technique opens the leaves of the sprouts slightly without destroying their integrity, which makes available more area, and more texture, for the added flavorings to hang on to.)

Steam sprouts 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the pancetta slices crosswise to form strips and sauté over medium high heat until the color deepens and the edges just start to brown. Remove the pan from the heat, throw in the garlic and toss for a few seconds.

When the sprouts have completed their steam, remove them to a bowl. Scrape the pancetta and garlic and any liquid or fat in the pan into the bowl with the sprouts. Add the basil and about a tablespoon of olive oil and the vinegar. Season with salt and hot sauce. Toss well to combine the ingredients and cover the bowl. Allow to rest for five minutes before serving. (The mixing of the ingredients and seasoning should be done immediately after steaming.) Toss the mixture again briefly before serving.

Answer 2

I love brussel sprouts but eating 50 in under a minute doesnt sound like a very good idea.Lol

Answer 3

I don't think I'd like to be around your mate for a good while after that! A good way to eat brussel sprouts tho', especially for if you are generally not really keen, is to roughly chop them, or shred in a processor, then soften a clove or two of garlic in butter then add the chopped sprouts for two or three minutes. Keep the heat fairly high and stir continually. Delish! Good with chicken.

Answer 4

Brussel sprouts are "Fear Factor" food for some. But I love them, although 50 at a time is a little much.

Answer 5

i really like brussel sprouts, not sure about 50 under a minute tho!

Answer 6

I hated tham as a child, but about 2 years ago the chef at the restaurant in which I was employed sauteed them with salt and pepper and olive oil or white wine. Of that I am not certain. However, he also added SUGAR to cut the earthy taste out of them. They were a monster hit for months!!!!

Answer 7

Love them to death - almost. lol. Was he trying to get in the Guiness book of records by any chance??? Blimey, I can't thing of any other reason except if it was a bet!! double lol. --))) PS, Is there a record for this feat & just what size were the Sprouts.? It makes a big difference if they were smallish!!

Answer 8

Yes I like them but I couldn't eat 50 of them all at the same time

Answer 9

i love them on the sunday roast beef dinner, 50 in under a minute can't be good for your mate or the people round him

Answer 10

Nope - can't say I do, I don't even eat them at Christmas any more. Evil little cabbages that they are! So, to me, eating 50 of them is just madness!

Just on another note - 'like' spelt with a 'y' - hmm, very medieval looking!
