I prefer it raw.
I prefer rocket to either, though. (arugala?)

Yep, arugula.

The thing about Brussels sprouts is that too many people overcook them, and that brings up the objectionable bitter-sulphurous-compounds taste. Don't overdo -- keep 'em blanched-green! And like any cabbage, drizzle with a favorite olive oil at the table. We never had our Alien Heads any other way.

If you really want them to look like little green alien heads, cut slanted slits and insert wedges of black olives into the slits. Anoint with olive oil and serve -- particularly effective with the Calvins of the dinner table.

Perry W, might as well think wilted, as the steaming of spinach is so brief, and *Wilted Spinach* is reliably not overcooked, but still hot enough to melt a bit of butter onto. Or in the pot. A toss in there with olive oil for the non-dairy or unsaturated set.
