Texture is off-putting, as is the bitterness.

I grew up thinking I hated Brussels sprouts because my mom never made them.  My mom never made them because my dad hated them.

Then one day in my 20s, some friends were having a dinner party and they served some Brussels sprouts trimmed, split, and roasted, with just some olive oil and salt and pepper.  I decided to be a big boy and tried them, and my goodness they were tasty.  Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and almost creamy on the inside.  I've been a huge fan ever since.

Oh, and nowadays I often make them as a side at Thanksgiving, and my dad has tried them, and discovered he actually loves them, too.

Roasting them or deep frying them tends to reduce that bitterness and let the natural sweetness emerge. It can also cause them to be a little more crispy, which I'm sure is part of the texture issue. 

That said, I'm not exactly a fair judge. I love bitterness. I was the weird kid who was excited when my mom made steamed Brussels sprouts--the method of prep that caused generations to hate them.

I grew Brussel Sprouts one year in my garden, they were superb, but the bugs found them and I only  got one harvest.  Cooked properly they are delicious IMHO and healthy.  I usually microwave them to almost cooked and then sautee them in a cast iron skillet with butter and a bit of vinegar.
