I have just eaten my first Brussels Sprouts of the season.
Deep profound green joy.

my granny, who lived in the fens surrounded by fields of sprouts, always said you had to wait until the first frosts before picking and eating sprouts.
Needless to say she ate a lot of sprouts!! Phhhaaarrrrppp

I don't get why I hate sprouts so much - I love cabbage, but even the smell of sprouts makes me balk!

That was true 20 or more years ago, but modern varieties such as "Brilliant" have been bred to taste sweet without frost.

Years ago my uncle had some friends, from London, up to stay for a weekend. My uncle had a large garden that he grew plenty of veg. The couple looking over his veg plot saw the sprouts and both said they thought that sprouts were just small cabbages.
I agree that sprouts are best after a frost but that can be got from the freezer can't it

The Brussels sprout may have some uses (small missiles maybe) but as a foodstuff... bleeeuuuuuurrrrghhhh 
My father buys them on the stalk just before Christmas and stores them out of doors. When he fetched them in last year there was a snail on the stalk which hadn't eaten any of the sprouts... if even snails won't eat 'em that has to prove something!
