I vote for banning Christmas.
I think I love you!
Sprouts, vile hateful disgusting things. The veg equivalent of dog eggs!
VILE
I'm sure you could make a turd taste almost palatable if you chucked enough nice tasting stuff in with it. Which is basically what most of the sprout lovers on here seem to insist on doing.
They taste like crap, admit it.
This is from someone who hated olives, but now quite enjoys them....
Love 'em.
If boiling or steaming, do it by colour. Don't kiss their arses, that encourages water inside to make them mushy. Boil or steam until they turn bright green, that'll tell you when they're good. Then you've got options....
Drain them, add in a LARGE knob of butter and a proper grind of black pepper, put the lid on the pan and rattle them until the outer leaves loosen up or drop off.
OR
roughly chop and quickly stir fry them with some chorizo so you get nicely spiced up outsides (bacon/pancetta's good too)
OR
Roughen them a bit as above and then put in the oven to roast.
If they're mushy and/or bitter..... IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU ****ED THEM UP!
