Maybe word hasn’t made it to northern Indiana, but down here in the south, we have these things called baked potatoes.

That old bland mush? My grandad ate that. I got some of the best food in the world to go with my steak, don't eat Irish peasant food unless necessary…. LOL

So tell me where this goes wrong.

I take a baking sheet that I used to bake a pound of bacon covered in baconny goodness, then I toss Brussels sprouts halves and chopped onion in the bacon grease, salt and pepper and an optional is add a little maple syrup, it sweetens them and adds nice flavor and caramelization. (Drain all but about 2 tablespoons of grease)

Roast at 400 until tender. Great with a salty steak…

1. If you have to do all that to make brussel sprouts good, why bother?

2. Full disclosure; while my mom is a good cook in many respects, the way I was presented brussel sprouts as a kid was as follows: boiled. Salt and pepper optional. Literally, gagging.
Also, same with ribs. Butcher hog, wrap parts in paper, open later, boil ribs. Once again salt and pepper optional. Never understood why people paid for ribs til much later in life.

I like a baked sweet potato with butter and a little brown sugar and cinnamon with my steak. Maybe some sauteed mushrooms too.

You find tossing nought halved Brussels sprouts in a pan already covered in bacon grease too much work? I spend more time on a TV dinner. LOL

Had similar food as a kid. Lots of things I had to learn how to eat when prepared to be tasty instead of cheap nourishment for farm labor.

I recently learned to sauté the shrooms in ghee (clarified butter), without the milk solids you can cook hotter and still keep butter flavor, sauté them with salt and pepper until a little browned, then pour cognac in and light it with fireplace match, stir until flames are out, toss in a few chopped chives. Mmm

The shrooms are delicious and the juice is wonderful with the steak juices mixed…

Todays sweet potatoes are so sweet I can’t take any added sugar, butter only…

I usually use butter, garlic and a little worcestershire sauce (what's this here sauce, sire? ). If I kept red wine around I'd put a splash of that in there too, but I don't usually have any.

Ketchup.

Ketchup.

Oh no you didn’t…report report report

 

[Ingomike]

Ketchup.

OMG!!! Worst answer yet. That is beyond the line of A1 even…

Actually if I’m ever asked if I want A1, my standard reply is, I hope not, I do use that stuff on bad overcooked so called steak…

I might have a shirt and hat...

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I do like A1. Not gonna apologize for it. I just like the flavor.

 

[Expat]

I might have got it a time or two at school.
But, mostly it was when I got home I had to worry.

Yeah, that was back when mom said if you got it at school, you would get it at home again.

Liking it is fine. Putting it on a real steak is a crime.
