I used to hate brussel sprouts as well because my mom used to only boil or steam them and they were just so nasty bitter.

However, we went to a dinner party once and the hostess prepared brussell sprouts and they were really good. What she did was cut them in to halves and fried them in a bit of butter and olive oil with chopped bacon and onion. No bitterness at all and they were really yummy. We eat them all the time now but only like this.
