But also, Brussels are on the menu everywhere (edit: where i am) in the US. middle of July, at a bar, get a side of Brussels. I don't think Brussels are served commonly at Sunday lunch year round in the uk. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) What region if you don't mind me asking. I've lived in a couple of US states on the west coast and I've never encountered Brussel sprouts so casually and definitely never fried.
