• Sprouts,yes, no or maybe ?

A sprout is for life not just for Christmas; so it's a yes from me. Cooked in salted water then finished in a pan with butter and the cut up bacon you have sealed your turkey with. If this doesn't get the duvet inflated nothing will.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 7:56 pm**

100% yes

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:02 pm**

Oh yes.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:03 pm**

oui toujours.................
the humble sprout

Love them, preferably mashed with pepper and butter.

Best veg ever

From Brussels aren't they...?
A big fat no....disgusting!!

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:24 pm**

A yes from me - grow your own and taste the difference - preferable after a good frost.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:30 pm**

100% yes, with some bacon as it's Christmas

Normally I cook them with Cumin and they are delicious

What a lot of faffing about for very little..
Pie & chips anyone ?

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:58 pm**

And it's a big no from me as well.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 8:59 pm**

Great with chestnuts and bacon.

It's funny because I like every cabbage known to man, but sprouts.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 9:06 pm**

I'm sure that the correct answer is either 'stop talking the traditional English Christmas dinner down', or 'no, we voted brexit, get over it' but actually sprouts dont come from Brussels. They do come from Europe though, but taste gross regardless.
Peas, potatoes, onions, parsnips, beans and peppers for me. And apple sauce.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 9:08 pm**

Brassicas !!!!!

Not originally,but Brussels took them over in the 13th century.
You have been warned!!!

Tulips originally were from Japan.but are now most associated with The Netherlands.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 9:19 pm**

Yes from me.

Taste nice and give me some brilliant farts.

Get rid of the onions, beans and peppers. Add roasted carrots to the roasted parsnips and potatoes and, most importantly, substitute cranberry sauce for apple sauce. This is quite a faux pas on your part. Apple sauce goes with roast pork. I've never heard of anyone having it with turkey.

I'm with BOT love all cabbage but sprouts are disgusting.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 9:51 pm**

and the boxing day crap is 2nd to none....get those sprouts piled on.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 10:02 pm**

100% love em, preferred the old fashioned bitter ones, but even the new sweeter ones are grand

Well I like apple sauce with chicken, pheasant, capon, pork and particular''ly with peas. I'm not one to think that what I'm told to think is right. Chips go with onions or hot chilli sauce. My shepherds pie is with pork mince and cheese in the potato. And I support Burnley.

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2017 10:45 pm**

Each to his own. About the apple sauce I mean. Just give the cranberry sauce a go. Especially with a pheasant.

The sprout plant is strangely exotic looking

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2017 8:18 am**

Really?

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2017 10:00 am**

They taste like a baboon's bollock. No thanks.

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2017 10:49 am**

The daughters finished of with bacon bits and cream are delish.

By gum Frank you've tasted some exotic foods. Have you been on I'm a celebrity ?

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2017 8:47 pm**

Just realised I didn’t have any- even after cooking them. Bar humbug

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2017 9:49 pm**

Sliced par boiled and then fried with bacon. Drop of cream . Salt and pepper. Absolutely amazing

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2017 10:01 pm**

Live 'em and always have

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 12:06 am**

Definite yes, I eat them all year long.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 12:08 am**

OOOOOOH YES from me and there working already aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 12:52 am**

Love sprouts. Quick boil then drain them off and toss them in butter and season with Nigella seeds.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 12:59 am**
