Because one implies "Sprouts from Brussels" and the other implies the vegetable that children stereotypically hate.

The veggie is correctly spelled brussels sprouts. I assume spelling it without the "s" is just an error or being unaware of the proper spelling. Wikipedia suggests the vegetable got its name because of its popularity in Brussels, Belgium. So, in a sense, they are "sprouts from Brussels."
