"Consultant cardiologist Dr Roy Gardner said: 'Patients who are taking anticoagulants are generally advised not to eat too many green leafy vegetables, as they are full of vitamin K, which antagonise the action of this vital medication.'" - BBC, via Arbroath

    But… But Brussels sprouts are the BEST.

      Not if you have three pounds in one sitting.

      Purgative? Insect repellant? Enhanced interrogation tool?

        they’re good when really fresh (right now, from the central coast of my fair state) and roasted in the oven with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic.  Or, pan fried with a little pancetta.
        there’s a pizza place in NYC called Motorino that does a pie with that and cheese.  damn, it’s good.

          There must be a genetic component at work.  To me, they taste like weaponized farts.

            You say that as if it was a bad thing.

            I suppose that it’s odd that I eat cheese that smells like zombie fingers but won’t touch sprouts.

            Whoever is cooking your sprouts is doing it wrong.

            Sulfur means they’ve been overcooked.

    That should be “mechanical heart VALVE.” Thank you.
