The title text refers to Sequoia Brussels sprouts. The reference is probably to the Giant Sequoia (~~~~{{w|Sequoiadendron giganteum}}~~~~), a close relative of the coast redwood. "Resinous" is probably a more apt adjective than "delicious", and they're probably woody. Additionally, they would indeed be quite hard to finish - Sequoia trees can range from {{w|Sequoiadendron giganteum|50-85 meters}} in height.
