I can't get over the fact tons of us used to think Ferrero Rochers were some delicacy for millionaires, but in reality can just be bought for under $10 at the average supermarket
For me it was the advert:
Ha, I'd immediately kill my kid.
yea well you should first dip them in melted chocolate and cover it with crushed hazelnuts to make sure they look genuine
Thanks Satan!
They really should be cooked, first.
If raw, they would be much harder to bite into when compared to what a person would expect from a chocolate. Thus, it would be really easy to recognize something was off before you had sunk your teeth in enough to be fully committed. Meaning, a person could very likely just quickly spit it out before getting a good bite.
If cooked, then the softness would make it so you're already all in and you'd get way more sprout all throughout your mouth. Even better would be to cook them so they are super-soft and would immediately become mush in the mouth.
all good ideas, agreed that it should be soft for maximum effect. maybe also infuse it with chocolate too, to maximize the confusion
It might be possible to make this taste good. I've made good food with weirder combos. All it needs is a good bridge ingredient that can combine sweet and savory (balsamic vinegar and wine are great ones).
Could also infuse the brussels sprouts with some flavor while cooking them.
it wont taste good as long as the person that bites it does so thinking it is chocolate
I was going to say calm down satan but the commenter who replied to you is the real Satan
I’ll help you dispose of the real ones.
Thanks for the help! Then I can paint the chocolates green. He’ll never see it coming!
Ya will, ya will, ya will, ya will!
This is a war crime.
Oh I know this game. I've always thought it would be funny to use raw onions in the place of apples in caramel apples and pass them out on Halloween.
Tony Abbott wouldn't mind
So you want to make caramelized onions?
🤭
Worst I’ve gotten was grapes in the foil for mini Cadbury eggs. It was quite evil. (Cuz those are my fave)
If I were the dad I'd get tricked once... then keep the evil one and use it as weight comparison point for all others. I don't need to unwrap any. The light ones, if there are any, are the good ones. I'd do that while looking in her eyes grinning knowing how long this little ordeal took for her to make.
I'd then buy bacon to eat the Brussels sprout, they aren't actually that bad, just stinky to boil.
My dad got around my absolute hate for brussels sprouts with this: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/216806/roasted-apples-and-brussels-sprouts/
The apples really enhance the taste, imo
Found Satan.
Milton’s satan maybe. Bring me the roasty brussels
I don't think they're gonna be roasted
there's a whole story that normally goes with this about how it escalates
Revenge for that time he re-wrapped coloured foil around grapes as Easter eggs?
How big were those grapes??
The size of small Easter eggs (you know, the ones about as big as grapes)
I wonder how long you can safely, and in good consciousness, leave these without being eaten before you have to say something. Like if you trick your dad into accepting the switched out Sprout Ferrero Rochers but he doesn't open them for three weeks should you squeal?
Yes otherwise highly negative consciousness
A side dish and dessert winds your dad up? Well, okay then, I guess.
As long as they're roasted with garlic and butter I'd be just as happy to find that lol
am not a father, but want to get in on the joke. I can't deduce what brussel sprouts and chocolate have to do with each other...
the sprouts are a similar size and shape to those chocolates, and theyre hidden under the gold wrappers, meaning the actual chocolate isnt visible from the outside. So, they can remove the chocolate, wrap the wrappers back over the sprouts, and put those back in the package so as to make whoever it is given to think theyre getting chocolate, until they unwrap one.
