I think I can totally understand your Dad's revulsion on a number of levels
personally ... I LOVE Brussels Sprouts ...
I hear interesting tidbits of WW2 (etc) about soldiers sort of scooping someones chickens for din-dins etc... raiding gardens and such too I presume? Still ... when on "the front lines" etc, hunger must have been a constant issue. Eating itself ... hmmmm ... where and when do you have the time and safety to do that sometimes? I'll bet many dream of home cooked meals!
