Sprouts

[diddlydo]

Who thinks that Brussels sprouts are (a) foul (b) tolerable but wouldn't choose to eat them or (c) think they're wonderful?

[BlueToffee]

Love 'em

[Prudie]

foul (although I do like one or two raw, completely different)

[B00]

Now there's a new 'un! Can you eat 'em raw?

[boxtops]

Shred them in a salad, B00.....

[Prudie]

Yes, they are crunchy and quite hot and spicy almost - I haven't read all the thread - we are still talking sprouts I hope :-)

[B00]

C
They're a bit of taste in a food world that's getting increasingly bland.

When I was kid growing up in the 50's and 60's, NOT eating sprouts was never an option ! We were "encouraged" to eat everything on our plates. If anything was left, it was put between two plates, put into the larder, and made a further appearance at the next meal. There are only so many meals that a young boy can hold out on, so eventually the sprouts got eaten !

I can remember the first Sunday lunch that I had, after I started work as a 17 year old. I thought now was the time to rebel, and not eat the bl00dy sprouts. After all, I gave my Mum £3 a week in housekeeping and thought that gave me some rights in the affair. But Dad had other ideas !

It was about 2 years later, when I finally left home and got a bedsit all to myself that and then I stopped eating sprouts altogether.

But now, at aged 60 I actually eat one sprout in any dinner that they makes an appearance. It still tastes horrible but I am aware of the healthy aspects of these horrible things, so I hold my nose and think of England...well, Wales actually.

I have just recalled that one of my many maiden Aunts served sprouts that were a little less horrible than normal, as was her cabbage. It wasn't until many years later, at her funeral, that I found out from another family member that this Aunt always added a spoonful of sugar to the sprouts as they were cooking !

Interesting how sour not eating sprouts makes people.

[murraymints]

[Old_Geezer]

Generally (a).
That stated, I have, on occasion found tasteless ones in 'frozen dinners' which possibly scrape into (b).

[CheekyChops]

Tolerable...will eat 3 or 4 on my Christmas dinner but not at any other time of year!

[redman41]

(c) Think they are wonderful !
It would not be Christmas without sprouts.
After Dinner ,just sit back and blame the Dog (if you have one)as there will be a lot of wind :-))))
