Rob85 Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Very nice, I'll have to check my local fruit n veg shop to see if they have any stocked. Usually I'm just grabbing the darkest Savoy I can find to go with stewed steak carrots n onions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 No laughing now - Lidl frozen Brussels, not sure where they get them (not often in store) but they elevate the humble sprout to new levels. Otherwise, Honey Roast Parsnips, food of the gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I had to steal a jumper from a colleague today as a soft egg exploded on me ahead of an afternoon client meeting. It was delicious though so I have no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are great. Almost like a cauli/brocoli hybrid if you use them for cauli cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the first in our farm sop last week and purchased two. Must nip over and see if they still have them in...you nudged me. Second choice broad beans which I grow sufficient of to freeze for the year ahead. Just planted this seasons seeds. Harvest the lot , vaccum pack and they last through till the new crop comes in. I don't blanch and all that carp. Just straight out of the pod into the pack, vaccuum and freeze and they come out just like fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
