Somehow, I doubt it. 
The original topic is too damn depressing. Even kale salad is an improvement.
Actually, I like kale.

Hey we canāt help it if bantering back and forth over salad preference is more interesting than the Angry Orangeās latest misstep.

Noooo Nooo donāt fall victim to those alien poison food!
Brussels sprouts were seeded on Earth by jokers from outer space who get off on seeing our species gag on them, and watching parents shout at their children until the sprouts are choked down in a flood of tears. They find it amusing.
Like when Catalonia peeps and French people and such serve you escargot, itās all a big joke thatās been running for thousands of years!

Pretty sure weāre in agreement here about everything, except for the kale. That being genetic though, I wonāt quibble. I havenāt looked it up ye, is it the same gene that makes people think cilantro tastes like batteries? How do you feel about cilantro?
I actually like it in moderation; too much and it can be really over-powering.
Holy god did I loathe brussels sprouts as a kid. Tiny little squishy cabbagy orbs filled with sulphuric hot water, little bundles of bitter slimy leaves. The worst of all vegetables. The kitchen smelled like Donald Trumpās ass. ( ā blatant topic reference)
Then as an adult I learned how to cut them in half and roast them, and it was a revelation. Theyāre amazing, crispy, sweet, nutty and delicious. Drizzle with some aged balsamic, wonderful. A BBQ place near me roasts them with a buffalo-style barbecue sauce. Awesome.

Everything is delicious if you dip it in butter. You think anyone would eat lobster if they couldnāt dip it in bowls of melted butter?

Well, I saw that coming. A friend of mine (and Bernie supporter) had a run-in with cow on another site, and it was not pretty. Itās like if you donāt support Bernie with complete unquestioning optimism, then he thinks youāre a corporate shill.

Can we be sure that heās not trolling them?
My mind is turned inside out by the Trump phenomenon 
In the broader sense, donāt all sufficiently long threads turn into a conversation about salads?
Salads are the topic! The people decide what the topic is, not some āmanaging editorā.

And it turns out this works for practically every vegetable that I thought was bad.
Edit to add: Also, donāt judge vegetables or fruits that you havenāt gotten from farmers markets. Iām not saying you have to like shitty quality produce, but donāt blame the species of plant for it.

Yes! I was raised on frozen veggies, so I only knew them as limp, watery, and tasteless.
Roasted carrots, roasted asparagus, roasted leeksā¦ so simple and so good.
One fun thing I discovered with brussels sprouts is that itās almost impossible to overcook them. If they look charred and blackened, give them a try. Most likely the outer leaves have caramelized while the inside is soft and sweet and nutty.

Do you like some of the other greens, like swiss chard, rainbow chard, collards, mustard greens, turnip greens, beet greens?
Iām not huge on kale, itās fine I guess. The kale hype is annoying, but (sings) you canāt take my chard from meeeeeee
