Six sprouts only.

Interesting snippet on TV about sprouts, apparently they naturally have something in them that is very bitter, hence lots of people not likin them growing up. Now they have cultivated the bitterness out so they are a lot nicer these days.
Explains why I never used to like them but do now.

Saw that too and have noticed that the ones we've eaten so far this year are much sweeter

Can't believe the depth of hatred for the sprout. Do those that don't like them force them down at Christmas to be polite, leave them on the plate or do the cook of the house know not to serve them to you

I am the cook of the house and the evil little beggars do not make it out of the supermarket. If we are out and they are served up they are left, or as in the pub last Saturday they were traded off for roast parsnips.

Don't change the rules BIM, roast parsnips are to die for - broccoli, now that is evil!

I’ll agree with that. Parsnips done with a honey coating. Broccoli, I wouldn’t feed it to a horse, and I don’t like horses

Trouble is Homer is that The Sprouteers, like to play there little games and hide said vile excuse for a veg on the plate of said Sproutexiters. Usually under a nice piece of breast. They think it is hilarious.s

They are horrible, hideous, evil. If someone puts them on my plate they get put to one side immediately, ideally on a side plate if there is one. Most foods I hate are pushed to one side but sprouts, celery and cauliflower are forcibly removed if at all possible. I don't want them near my food as they will ruin any meal if some sneaks in my mouth by accident.

They are definitely left. I stopped eating food i hate for reasons of politeness , mmmmmmmm never 😁. If I don't like it, it gets left. Always have, always will. Why try to eat something that makes you gag?

Yep, honey roasted parsnips and honey roasted carrots will definitely be on the plate this Christmas day. Beautiful

Totally agree, good shout :thup:

I really like sprouts. Cooked nicely they are lovely but as with most veg, if you overlook them they taste rubbish.

You got to be cooking it wrong, a gorgeous spiced red cabbage with cranberries is an absolute must on a Christmas dinner.

Makes a top side to go with cold cuts on Boxing Day too.

Wow, such hatred for the poor sprout!

They're amazing when done correctly.
Best way to do them is in a pan with a tight fitting lid, only about a centimetre of water in the pan, add sprouts, add cooked and chopped bacon, add cooked and chopped chestnuts.
Bring them to boil for about 6 minutes... absolutely fantastic! All my family love em like this.

Go on... you know you want to!

So they are so good that you have to disguise them with chestnuts and bacon.

That just makes them pointless as well as disgusting.

Up with sprouts!

Down with aubergines!

 

[Beezerk]

Sprouts with garlic, ginger, chopped bacon, and sprinkled with a few flakes of dried chilli, now we’re talking 🌶

No, they compliment each other.. there's a difference!

That lot should just about cover up the hideous taste of the nasty little things.
