Brussels sprouts are definitely an either love it or hate it food, and there's a reason. It's genetic: they contain a chemical compound, glucosinolates, which breaks down into chemicals that some people with a particular gene can detect, and others can not. About 3/4 of people have this gene and can detect the bitter taste.
