Sprouts!

[Mags22]

I missed what Gordon Ramsay said on yesterdays Breakfast programme about the question of flatulence caused by veg with out Christmas dinner - can anyone enlighten me?

[jd_1984]

Not sure what Ramsay said but in our house it is an issue!! My partner would kill me for saying but for her its the stuffing - whoooosh!!

whatever he said i bet the air was blue

[Mags22]

He must have said it quietly as I missed it!!!! Tis the sprouts are my downfall - necessitating quick walks round the garden !!!!!!

Sympathy ^^^^^
Quite an explosive issue!

Just another scare story folks, so no need to get the wind up.

Wherever you are
Wherever you be
Always let the wind go free.
Remember the case of poor Thomas Hart
Who swelled up and burst for want of a fart.

Brilliant topic and brilliant remarks !!!!1 Thanks and a Very windy Xmas to you all

you should already have your sprouts on the stove in a good rolling boil.just guessing that's what gordon said. that's the way to earn 3 michelin stars.

Not one of mine

If only I had been a bean,
A carrot or an aubergine,
A shiny pea,
That should’ve been me,
Alas, twas not to be

If only I had been less tight, Less like a fist clenched for a fight,
An open heart
Should’ve been my part,
Alas, twas not to be.

If only I had been less smelly, Less pungent on exit from your belly,
A scented rose,
Kind to the nose,
Alas, twas not to be.

If only I had been enticing, Excited kids, chopping and slicing,
A birthday treat,
Which couldn’t be beat,
Alas, twas not to be.

If only I had tasted great, Not been the cause of so much hate,
A gourmet delight,
A flavoursome bite,
Alas, twas not to be.

And so my friends, the end is nigh,
I’m ending it all concealed in a pie,
You’ll think you're clear,
From a windy rear,
Alas, twas not to be!

About a pound of sprouts washed down with 6 pints of real ale and you will have a room all to yourself.
