Today we bought sprouts on a stalk instead of a pre-packed bag or loose sprouts.
Can you cook and eat the stalk ? It seems such a waste to throw it away.

I waste nothing! If you've a mandolin, slice it thinly and saute - absolutely delicious.

I used to love and still do the stalk on Broccoli, in fact prefer it to the head part.

Moreover, is any part of the brussels sprouts plant edible?

They're just a joke item on the Christmas table surely?

Sometimes sprouts are pretty good, sweet and taste like mini cabbages but other times they have this weird bitter taste and then I hate them.

I like broccoli stalk and cauliflower leaves though.
