     Here is a exciting fact for you. People claim we cut a cross in the bottom to help the sprouts cook better, but you don’t find them served like that in most restaurants.

    Without knowing it, you may be following a superstition dating back to the medieval times, when it was believed that evil spirits or tiny demons hid between the leaves of lettuces, sprouts and cabbage. These spirits could enter anyone who swallowed them, making the person ill or at the very least giving them stomach ache. So before cooking, a cross was cut in every sprout or cabbage to drive the evil spirits out from the leaves.

    That's the most interesting thing I've read today. Thanks Brussels Sprout Eating GIF by The Wombles
