What the?

Any idea what this is?


Well, obviously it's Brussel Sprouts... Right?



I had no idea that Brussel Sprout's grow on stalks. None. Not the foggiest.

Apparently neither did the cashier, she said "Ok, I give up. What the hell is this"? Hilarious. I had a crowd of people gawking at my alien spawn vegetables.

Would you have known? Have you ever bought produce that has stumped the cashier?

    That's hilarious that the checker wasn't sure what it was. Funny. I've never had brussel sprouts. I actually planted one this year, but it frosted too early and it didn't produce. Although, I'm not even sure I'd have known if it did.

    What will you make?

    LOL.... I did not know that either! As far as I'm concerned, they come in a bag in the freezer section. :-D

    Hi! Just came over from your comment on Art of Doing Stuff. If you'd asked me how brussel sprouts grow, I'm not sure I could have answered "On a stalk, of course!", but I've definitely seen them like that before! Probably a farmers market or something... I frequently stump cashiers with fruits and vegetables- I think it's because so many are still in high school! But a common thing that seems to be unrecognizable is artichokes, and it makes me SOO sad, because they're delicious, and they were such a treat when we were kids. Like twice a year Mom would come home with one artichoke for everybody... it was hard to tell if we were more excited on artichoke day, or chocolate eclair day!

    I see those all the time at the grocery store and always stop and stare. I would love to buy some but I wouldn't even know how to start with them! Do you have a good brussel sprouts recipe??

    That's hilarious! No I've never seen Brussel Sprouts growing before. That's so funny. I guess I learned something new today.

    As for do I ever buy any veggies that stump the cashier, well most all veggies seem to stump them. I've even had some ask what an avocado was. Such a shame.
