Baked Brussels Sprouts (Überbackener Rosenkohl)
[Originally cultivated in Italy in Roman times, Brussels sprouts probably were grown as early as the 1200s in Belgium. The Brussels sprouts we know today were first cultivated in large quantities during the 1580s in Belgium, drawing the name from that country's major city. They became popular throughout Europe, and found their way into regular German cooking. They were introduced into the U.S. in the 1800s.]
