he great cabbage family comprises cauliflower, broccoli and Brussel sprouts. Although known since ancient times, Brussel sprouts have never featured strongly in Italian vegetable patches for some strange reason, and they are imported to Italy from northern Europe. This represents something of a prodigal return as they were originally brought to ancient Gaul by Roman troops.
One of the problems of this type of vegetable is its characteristically unpleasant odor which comes out when boiled. This can be eliminated by adding dry bread to the cooking water and a tablespoon of vinegar to the pan lid.
