Used to be the same for me ... Until I learned how to cook those little bitter-bombs. Steam until tender, remove the outer leaves, half them, then sauté in bacon fat with shallots. If you like, finish with a touch of maple syrup and let that caramelize a bit.
love da sprouts!
 
It's been at least 10 years since I had a doughnut. I love veggies though, except brussel sprouts.

A couple more options to try (I won't vouch for any particular Brussels sprouts recipe, because Brussels sprouts haters are pains in the asses on the topic, no offense to LS, but I will offer up some different suggestions (I've not tried them), because some anti-sprouts person I know has liked the dish):


Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Cheese

Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Anchovy, and Chile



As another bacon-aided alternative, there's Brussels sprouts lardons, and you can choose a version of that to suit your preferences.



I'd offer other suggestions, but I'm a fan of the Brussels sprouts, so I can't offer the "I didn't like them, but..."angle, and won't toss out my choices, since they might have to opposite result of what's intended.



Good luck, and always keep trying new ways to make hated foods palatable (with some exceptions. I'm never trying Durian, for example).

My go-to recipe is to saute/fry in an iron skillet med-high, salt, pepper, garlic, with wagyu beef tallow and butter as my fat of choice, but avocado oil and butter works well too. Key is to get crispy bits in there and have them be tender but not to soft.

Edit: Gotta cut them in half, thanks @HSanders
