This has been a tradition on my family for several years. It wouldn't be Christmas without it. My mother always served this, now I have carried on the tradition.

It sounds very good. Could we have some more details?

I usually steam Brussels sprouts, and I toss them in butter in the hot pan after I discard the water.

Basicly there really isn't any recipe. I take dinner rolls that I make myself, tear them up into small pieces and toast them in the oven until they are golden brown. Then I put them in a food proccesor and process to them until they are crumbs. I then take as many bread crumbs as I feel I will need and add melted salted butter - enough to make them a pourable sauce. Then pour them over your steamed veggies.

This is my recipe for the rolls.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water -- (110'-115')
2 cups warm milk -- (110'-115')
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg -- beaten
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter or margarine -- melted
Additional melted butter

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, egg,
salt and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Beat in butter and remaining
flour (dough will be slightly sticky). Do not knead. Place in a greased
bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Punch dough down and divide in
half. On a floured surface, roll each half into a 12-in. circle. Cut each
circle into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Beginning at the wide end, roll up each
wedge. Place rolls, point side down, 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at
350' for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush tops with
melted butter.

That sounds really good. I'm not a huge fan of brussel sprouts, but I'd be willing to try this recipe.

I haven't eaten Brussel Sprouts since I was a child because I absolutely HATED them. Of course, I absolutely hated dozens of foods (mostly vegetables) which now are some of my favorites. One of them is asparagus which I guess you could say is a comparable changing of tastes.

So... perhaps it's time to try good 'ol brussel sprouts again and when/if I do... I'll give this recipe a whirl.

Thanks JMW!
