Down with Sprouts

I hate sprouts.

Several times a week I walk to the Feed Store and pick up a salad for lunch, they have terrific salads and soup. Before I worked downtown every time I had a chance to go to the Feed Store I would always get soup but since now I can walk there every day I've ventured out of my normal bowl of Mushroom Bisque. Since the weather is getting warm I've learned, the hard way, that eating hot soup on a warm day isn't the best thing for my stomach, so i've switched to salads until the weather starts to get cool again. The salad I get has ham, cheddar cheese, green pepper, eggs, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and sprouts. The sprouts are usually in a big clump on top of the salad so it's easy for me to just take them off. Well, yesterday when I took off the clump of sprouts some still hung on the lettuce for dear life and I couldn't get them all off. I didn't think much of it and mixed up my salad, until I was half way through the salad when one got stuck in my teeth, I immediately thought to myself- I hate sprouts. So I am opening up to this to my fellow humzooers, Does anyone really eat sprouts and if so, do you actually enjoy eating them???

(If I don't respond for a couple of days, Brian is finally back in town and we are going hiking tomorrow and staying in Grafton for the night.) I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

1) I am with you. I hate sprouts. But, I live in Crunchville, USA (seriously), and I know many many people who like them. Some people actually buy them and bring them home.

2) i used to like the IDEA of sprouts, but i read somewhere about how they harbor germs/bacteria (the bad sort) and that has kinda made me avoid sprouts ever since

3) Ewww, never heard that before now. But I do like sprouts. On stuff, or on their own. I'll buy a package of sprouts at the store and eat them plain as a snack. Low cal!

4) I think I have a weird gene taste bud because sprouts taste like dirt to me. I also think they look like worms-no sprouts for me. My daughter, Spike eats them but shes a little strange anyway:>

5) A lot of things like that taste bitter to me. For example, I'll eat iceberg lettuce, but every other type lettuce I've ever tried (Romaine, that weird purple kind, etc.) tastes extremely bitter to me so I don't eat it. Sprouts are the same way for me. So, I guess the answer is no, I think sprouts are YUCK!

6) I think sprouts are yummy in salads or on certain kinds of sandwiches. They taste earthy and nutty. Yum!!!

8) I used to like sprouts but I also heard about the bacteria they tended to grow. In fact I used to grow my own sprouts and feed them to my children. It's lucky I didnt' kill them while trying to be so healthy! I don't trust them at all anymore!

9) I think sprouts are gross! I don't see why I should be expected to eat something that looks like a cross between grass and sperm!

10) Betsy, Oh no you didn't!

I liked them on my turkey and swiss sandwiches... until now. Grassy sperm? OMG.
