One of the many things I don't miss living here is queuing in Morrisons ,and I love sprouts.
Mind you the weather here today is very like Lancashire wet and cold and misty visability down to 20 mts
so we have started Christmas early .... Cheers all .... jeff.....

Have you left sufficient time to ensure they are thoroughly cooked
37 hours on full power in the microwave should do it!

I watched Celebrity Pointless yesterday and for some bizarre reason the 'sprouts' answer wasn't pointless - surely if anything in life is pointless it would be sprouts

I love dark green veg - sprouts, cabbage, spinach. Very good for you too. Unless you have an artificial heart. link

I love sprouts too, and all other green leafy veggies.

That said we're not having sprouts this year .

Lucky you Gwyn.

The problem with sprouts is they seem obligatory with the turkey, meaning that they're 'traditional'

I much prefer them fresh off a stalk and cooked quickly anytime except December 25th.

I read that article today whilst stuck in the queue at Asda, I hate sprouts and now I have the perfect excuse not to eat them

The only veg I can't eat, makes me retch, is cooked turnip.

Just wakened from a pleasant dream where a whole bunch of us went on an outing to the Channel Islands. John Riley, Gwyn and Davem were all there and it was only £2.50 on the ferry. Some of you photograph very odd things, somebody only photographed coat hooks on the backs of doors
I hope that I was photographing sensible things, like hooks on the front of doors. It would make a nice change. Did we have to push the ferry?

Spent yesterday morning and this afternoon trying to relocate the waxwings i saw in the rain on Friday no luck!

I love most veg just not sprouts

Spinach is a favourite, cabbage of most types (not the squeeky, pickled red stuff except on the odd occassion) Pak Choi, Chinese leaf etc etc are all regulars for us

Swiss chard is next on my list to try

Oh nearly forgot - if you took tomatoes, , lettuce, cucumber, onions, mushrooms, chillies, garlic and ginger out of our diet there would not be much left

Red cabbage is delicious, not pickled, but cooked with apples and spices, or in salads.

Sauerkraut in chicken soup is a good thing...

As far as my taste buds are concerned Sauerkraut is never a good thing
