Do you take part in this annual madness of eating the most disgusting vegtable ever spawned from the earth. It’s so evil it needs to have the mark of the cross on it before boiling the foul stench of evil out (never works). Boiled to within a milametre of the pan going dry over a 5 day period.

Don’t get me started on the toxic clouds it causes after digestion

Yay!! Love them!

Lush!

Sprout curry is awesome

Yup, although I’m slightly concerned by the promised sprout and chestnut soup I’ve been told we’re having on Boxing Day

It’s a yay from me! 🙂

So long as they have a bit of bite, and are served with bits of bacon on

Anyone who doesnt have sprouts with christmas dinner is a terrorist sympathiser

It’s a Yes from me.

Yay from me

stir fried with chorizo and served with crusty bread yes…then again i love them boiled al-dente with lots of white pepper

Yes. Steamed until just past al dente.

Excellent.

They’re OK with horseradish sauce – otherwise nay

Yes

Yes, provided the ________ is in alignment with Uranus.

Guess i’m a terrorist sympathiser 😳

Least i wont be destroying the Ozone due to the toxic
emissions you odd folk will be tooting

Sprouts are glorious!

Bleurgh

YAAAAAAAAAAY!

Nay.. Aside from being gross they only serve to amplify oppression by religious zealots.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well, I didn’t vote for you.
King Arthur: You don’t vote for kings.
Woman: Well how’d you become king then?
[Angelic music plays… ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’ swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I eat sprouts quite often tbh, have since I was a kid (my kids prefer them, having said that they eat raw spinach as a snack!! 😯

Shredded and stir fried with bacon, what’s not to like.
With chestnuts in soup is also good.

Simply add sprouts and chestnuts to a kedgeree for a festive ‘christmas kedgeree’ (tm Sweepy)

I luvs em!

Importantly, they need to be boiled until nicely soft. Not al dente.
The boiling releases the sugars and makes them yummy sweet balls of heavennnnnnnn.

Nowt wrong wi sprouts. Sprouts are not just for Christmas you know 😉

Boiled til you can suck em through a straw..

Love them! My freezer conked out a few years ago & a bag of frozen sprouts (I know, I know) defrosted so I cooked the whole bagful & just…well, ate them!

Yay! Sprouts are ace, love ’em.

Boiled? Barf

Roasted until crispy on the outside? Oh yes!

Yay, I love eating a bowl of them 😀

Yay. Cooked till just slightly crunchy and finished with double cream.

Or stir fried for extra fart effect!

King of veg. Currently enjoying them oven roasted with olive oil and lots of salt.

Satan’s gobstoppers, disgusting things, a fatwa should be put upon them.

8 minutes in the steamer, bloody marvellous.

You cook the life out of them, they’re bound to be a disgusting mush.

Now I LOVE LOVE LOVE my veg but sprouts? Err no. They literally make me gag. I can’t even swallow them.

No mention of frying them off with garlic & honey, you’re all wrong I tell thee 🙂

Yay, love them. Al dente.

I suspect though that the spouts we eat nowadays have been hybridised to remove much of the bitterness I remember as a child. I suspect also that the nutritional value has decreased as a result.

Tom Kerridge was on the radio the other day, his idea was to wok them; to crisp the outer and the steam released to cook the inside

Love em. Got to be cooked correctly but when they are they’re lovely. **** em up and they’re rank.

There are a lot of foods that taste crap if you cook the badly, eggs for example. I don’t get the hate for the spout, after all it’s only a small cabbage.

I always hated them until my wife cooked them at Christmas many years ago. They were delicious. Cooked to perfection which makes all the difference. Slightly sweet and you can feel every layer as you bite into them. She fries them up with Pancetta nowadays which is even nicer. As much a part of our Christmas dinner as anything else. Makes stacks too as they go in the bubble and speak on boxing day.

they go in the bubble and speak on boxing day.

What are they saying? ‘boil me more!’???
