Later I was disappointed because it was not a “mini” cabbage as I thought so and I bought something else. I wasn’t sure what to do with Brussels Sprouts but it occupied space in my fridge. But, because of the rule “NO WASTAGE OF FOOD” I decided to prepare something with Brussels sprouts. My first experiment with Brussels Sprouts was to prepare it with Rice and later it got a reserved seat in my veggies selection.

So I prefer adding some other things to it whether it’s rice, peas or anything which can give a good combination to it.
