Brussels Sprouts

[Hopkirk]

I've been reminded why I shouldn't eat sprouts. Oh dear.

The best way to prepare Sprouts is to dig them into your compost pile and leave them there until they no longer exist!

Spouts are lovely ... if cooked right and combined with chestnuts and pancetta.

I wouldn't want to be downwind of Hoppy today though...

Hopefully we can agree to disagree Ladycg.
But..
Who ever decided humans should eat sprouts deserves to be hung, drawn and quarted.
Then dragged through a medieval town behind a horse that had been fed nothing but sprouts for a week, or two.
If that's a bit of a harsh punishment then numerous turns in the dunking chair may suffice.
As long as they learn the terrible errors they have made.

[Hopkirk]

A bit harsh.

better out than in . . .

I love the little ones, steamed for about three to four minutes and then finished in a frying pan with a little butter and cracked black pepper.....

I love them. Unfortunately these days they rebel against me!!

[pat2604]

But seriously, they were my favourite source of green stuff. Not like the very nasty, wicked cattle food called Kale !!

There is nothing wrong with eating them. They are tasty, do not affect you as people say, and they are nutritious.
