Sprouts For Christmas Yes Or No ?

[LochNessMonster]

If not what will you use instead ?

[Baldric]

Put 'em on back in Sept. so hopefully will be ready for dinner later on.
Luv 'em!

[sandyRoe]

Yes, please. And a sprout isn't just for Christmas.

[Mamyalynne]

Resounding yes - love them.

[B00]

I love sprouts, so it's a definite "YES" from me, however i you don't like 'em- don't do 'em. Christmas dinner should be what you want to eat, so if it's kebab and chips, fill your boots!

[douglas9401]

Yes! And the ones that are left can be put in a cheesecake for later. :-)

[LochNessMonster]

Best way is to peel some leaves off put a cross in the base of them. Simmer them for 15 - 20 min's add some salt. :- p

[paddywak]

YES

[weecalf]

Sprouts out is Spurs to

[ummmm]

Apparently you shouldn't put a cross in them.

[Mamyalynne]

No cross required , makes them soggy.

[B00]

I never do, but that's more on account it's too much of a fiddly hassle!

[Lie-in King]

Love sprouts, so yes.

[EcclesCake]

Yes.

I'm roasting mine, coz I'm a rebel :-)

[Sir Alec]

No, I'm afraid they make me vomit!
Many years ago, my Mum made bubble and squeak. She forgot to tell me there were leftover sprouts in it and I spent all of Christmas Day afternoon with my head down the bog. Terrific!

[Sir Alec]

Sorry, forgot to say that I'm having braised red cabbage with onions.

[Mamyalynne]

Only sprouts or do all brassicas make you ill?

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, so not all brassicas - odd ,but a yummy choice you've made there.

[Sir Alec]

I also love broccoli and cauliflower, I don't know what the extra 'ingredient' is in sprouts, but to me they are the spawn of the devil!
However, melon is even worse. If just a tiny piece of melon gets in my mouth, the roof (of my mouth), starts to ache like it's been punched very hard, then if any makes it to my stomach, it's like the Trevi fountain with projectile vomiting. I make a melon pickle, so have to wear gloves and be very stringent about cleaning hands/not touching my mouth, etc. Very odd, as I don't tend to suffer from allergies.

[jomifl]

personally I prefer the cross of Lorraine it gives them a certain 'je ne sais pas'

[jomifl]

Use? I eat them!
