Good evening Fabbers , Friends and Forumites.
What a jolly day , the weather chaps promised heavy rain for North Wales. It was over cast but glorious . The one and only Pooch and I had three spiffing walks. It was warm to , warm enough for shirt sleeves.
I had to pop into my local town of Llandudno to do a wee bit of Christmas shopping. Also a mad dash to my local supermarket .
Heavens so many people just filling their trolleys with anything and every thing. I did do a little extra food shipping for my local foodbank. Its a wonderful thing a sad necessity in these days.
I digress as usual, nudged by pooch to get on with it.
While shopping I bought my weekly purchase of sprouts . I love the little green spiffing things. I roast or fry them with pancetta or chorizo. Yumski.
So our question to you this evening is
Do you like sprouts ?
Are they just for Christmas?
And how do you like yours ?
Taff and Pooch

I absolutely adore sprouts, just cooked and very green. If anyone disagrees with my opinion I will lambast you for putting a damper on my Christmas, how very dare you?? |

Sprouts are for Christmas only. I bought frozen ones from Aldi. They come ready prepared and with bacon. Hope that makes them more palatable.
Happy sprout eating to you and the lovely Santa Paws. Xx |

Yum.
Though crisp and not boiled to death.
Also partial to liver and onions.
Me,Mr.
Mrs isn't a fan of sprouts and certainly isn't a fan of the result of my enthusiasm especially when washed down with Guinness.
Don't know what's wrong with people.  |

Love sprouts & as others have said, need to be firm rather than boiled to mush. The frozen ones do tend to be softer when cooked, so I prefer the fresh ones when you can get them.
Tried a couple of the River cottage recipes as well - creamed sprouts with bacon, and the sprout salad (yes, you can eat them raw) |

"dont over cook them the harsher they are cooked the more sulpher is released into them resulting in more sulpher gas after digestion "
Same as boiled eggs that's why you get that blue grey ring around the yolk if you over cook them |
