Sprouts! Literally only ever eaten at Christmas in our house. I still haven’t ever understand why this should be the case. If anyone knows the hell why the PM button is down there ... |

I don't know why but I love sprouts and have them as a stable of my veggies throughout the year.
Parsnips on the other hand only ever come out at Christmas. |

Sprouts ? 
I'd rather eat my own toenails than a sprout. Used to live in Bedfordshire as a child and all the farmers around us grew them. The stink when they were being picked is enough to make anyone reach for a bowl to be sick in...................no, no,no, the devils veg if ever there was one. |

"Cut the bases out and peel them into individual leaves, then steam them in butter with finely chopped garlic and some pancetta  "
Peel sprouts into individual leaves?
Who has time for this? |

I've heard of people shredding them but not peeling the leaves off

Best tasting after the first frost so not really a 12 month vegetable imo but I love them in the winter and have devised some great recipes that would make most of the anti sprout person give them a thumbs up.
Most people who don't like them have been served mushy over cooked ones with no taste

I remember when we picked and shelled our peas & broad beans, runner beans were also picked, stringed and sliced, some of them were parboiled and salted in big jars as well, we didn't have a freezer back then |

An ex mother in law of mine used to boil the Bejesus out of veg til it was little more than a pulp, then chuck the nutritious water down the sink and boil the kettle to make gravy  |

If you cut the base out they pretty much fall apart.. |
