Technically, the correct name is “Brussels sprouts” as they were named after the city of Brussels, however most folks now just refer to them as brussel sprouts.

I guess that “s” at the end of brussels has just become a silent “s” now. If you spell it the correct way or not, it doesn’t really matter cause they taste delicious either way they’re pronounced!

At the end of the day brussels sprouts will be brussels sprouts. It’s entirely up to you if you’re willing to take the leap and try them, but I say they’re so worth it! You might be a full fledged brussels sprouts hater and you just haven’t given them a proper chance.

So why not just give them a go and let your taste buds be the judge?
