BUT....I like this whole sprouts and bacon concept. Got a particular recipe you like?

I don't follow a recipe on this, because the salt content of the pancetta/bacon, and the bitterness of the sprouts, can vary so much. Here's a pretty good starter, though:

Looking at that, I'd recommend starting with less salt and adding more, to taste, and I'd recommend having more chicken broth handy, in case too much of it gets sucked up during the cooking.
Cooking sprouts this way seems to convert about 50% of the people who usually hate them, at least getting some of the others up to the all-important "That's not bad, but I wouldn't make them" status.
I want to test out this version:

but I'll save that one for a non-holiday experiment. I'm already gambling on the zucchini gratin.
FMB may have some other suggestions for you.
