We decorated one and took it to friends for a Christmas dinner, once. They laughed so hard that we kept it as a centre piece, even though we all like to eat Brussel sprouts.
I once bought two stalks and made my husband carry them all through the store (because we had just run in to grab a few things and didn’t have a cart). He was less than pleased 🤣
I had a similar experience at a random farm in California. I was so mesmerized by its alien-ness that I made my mom buy it. I wielded it like a weapon the whole way home.
Love 'em. Although on stalks they're somewhat similar to the pods from Invasion of The Body Snatchers. However, I might just be drunk on my imagination.

It's used so much that it's absurd.
But hate's a word that I will shout
about the vile, foul Brussels sprout.
I find it utterly incredible
that anyone would say it's edible.
Don't ever serve me Brussels sprouts
or you will find us on the outs!
I always thought they grew out of the ground like little mini cabbages…
Then see the guy selling mushrooms On the Log at the next stall and go, "WOW!"
