Where did the Brussels sprout originate?

cut in half, salt, pepper, drizzle sesame seed oil and bake at 450. Better than just boiled.

I'm a lover of these tasty little plants - one of my favorite green vegetables. They're not given the attention as some others & it's a pity we don't see them on the menu very often. As for where they originated, I think they simply gained an appreciation in Belgium sooner than other locales - hence the name.

I love a Brussel sprout, could eat them all day!

I knew the answer to this question because I read about Brussel sprouts once in an Asterix comic.

People... Who in the Blue Hell quits reading explanation mid sentance?! It stated: Although native to the Mediterranean region with other cabbage species, (please note the comma) Brussels sprouts FIRST (note the word first stated here) appeared in northern Europe during the fifth century, later being cultivated in the 13th century near Brussels, from which they derived their name. Oy Vey!

"Native to the Mediterranean region" so....didn't originate in Belgium.
