Your real ethical dilemma should be obvious: why buy brussels sprouts? They are nasty.

Clearly you've never had them halved and cooked over a high heat then tossed with a subtle blend of honey and soy sauce.

Agreed on the accounting.
But anyone who says that about brussels sprouts has never tasted them roasted and topped with pomegranate mollasses.

Too long! That's when you get that bitter flavour, which is probably why a lot of people don't like them. Half that time, then add butter and black pepper!

Does the Toppers transaction come AFTER, since a transaction is an exchange yes EXCHANGE of goods or services for money and therefore there was, arguably, no transaction to document until the exchange yes EXCHANGE was complete?

Well, that certainly depends. Is this so-called "financial transactions spreadsheet" intended to be an accurate record of financial transactions? Or is it intended to be a record of your personal whereabouts, for alibi purposes?

IRRELEVANT, I SAY.

Do you guys have recipes you can give me by chance?

Adding to Kent's and fr8y-baby's recommendations, I've enjoyed them sautéed with diced onions & lemon rind.

I’ve had them from a local Cypriot restaurant, so don’t have a recipe. They were halved, and oven roasted having been tossed in what I expect would be olive oil, although there may have been a little lamb fat too. Drizzled once the outside is caramelised with pomegranate molasses and with a sprinkling of a dukkah style dried herb and sesame mix.

This is one of those recipes that I wing every time I make it, but basically:
1lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 tablespoon or so of your fat of choice (butter, oil, bacon grease, etc.)
!/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Medium to high heat; cook the sprouts, face down in the fat until they've just started to char.
Reduce heat to medium and flip the sprouts.
Meanwhile, heat the honey and soy sauce over a low heat. You just want to get the honey flowing easier.
Remove the sprouts from heat after 5'ish minutes and toss with the honey.
