Transcript

What BBN said on air in this cut. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

1. 

   Kenji MoonfieldReaders sent in vegetables they once considered inedible, and Brussels sprouts drew some of the strongest reactions, The New York Times reports.

2. 

   Kenji MoonfieldOne reader called them evil little cabbages.

3. 

   Vera BullockMy take: the sprout was never the villain, the family dinner was. Readers blamed overcooked, mushy, smelly versions served at home.

4. 

   Vera BullockThat's a press office failure, and the cabbage deserves a corrected statement.

5. 

   Kenji MoonfieldHOT. You just issued a retraction on behalf of a vegetable, and I want that framed.

6. 

   Rosa TicksThe recipe that changed minds was oil, salt and a hot oven until the edges caramelized!

7. 

   Rosa TicksNo fancy equipment, no exotic seasoning, which means every one of those childhood dinners was a cold case!

8. 

   Kenji MoonfieldNot bad. NOT, though, because a cold case needs a detective and your whole family just had a stove.
