Harden up woman!
Being a child of a child of the depression it is your responsibility to eat all your food and to not know why.

It's all in the cooking Jo.
From that wonderful, all-knowing resource Wikipedia: "According to a survey in 2002, Brussels sprouts are Britain's most hated vegetable, and it has become a cliché there and in the United States that children dislike the vegetable. Overcooking releases sulphur compounds in the vegetables that give it a distinctive smell commonly found unpleasant. If correctly cooked, the unpleasant smell is avoided and the vegetable possesses a delicate nutty flavour."
