Selective breeding does play a role but also how you prepare them. Just like other brassicae if you cook them for too long they start smelling bad, so you want to use high heat and relatively short cooking times.
For example. My go-to approach is to cut them into halves and pan-fry in lard. High fire. People claim it’s delicious.
Right, when I was growing up, always steamed or boiled - absolute trash. Just throw them on a pan under the broiler with some oil and salt/pepper chefs kiss
I literally just take them out of the freezer, drizzle a little bit of olive oil (1-3grams), salt, garlic powder and air fry them for 23 minutes at 200 C.
I’ve had this discussion before, had the “proper way” of preparing them explained to me and made them according to these instructions. Turns out, I just don’t like the taste. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Individual tastes are a thing, too. At least someone out there is bound to dislike even the most beloved dishes; the thing, for me, is how many people claim to hate Brussels sprouts, even if they deserve some leafy and greasy love.

People have some hate boner against Brussels sprouts, but damn - if you know how to prepare them, they’re delicious.

Why Brussels sprouts no longer taste bitter

I mean, things fried in lard do usually come out delicious.

the don’t smell bad… they just smell like cabbage when cooked longer

Look, anything pan fried with butter, salt, black pepper, bacon and a little white wine is going to taste great…

I just bake them with a little oilve oil, salt and rosemary. That’s all it takes.

Sliced in half and deep fried—in case anyone was wondering.

Shallow fry works just fine… no need to smother them

I actually prefer to eat them raw. A cup a day before sleeping
