Not everyone likes Brussel Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts

I hate Brussel Sprouts! They are the devils food and there maybe a scientific reason why. There is gene mutation that exists in about 50% of the world’s population that cannot detect the bitter chemical, similar to Phenylthiocarbamide (PCT), in Brussel Sprouts. Hence only ‘mutants’ enjoy Brussel Sprouts, which is what I have always suspected.
