fortune Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I must be the milkman’s because all my family like them but I hate them. :look: I remember my first day at primary school and being made to sit there until I’d eaten some. I was a rebel from then as I was sent out to lessons with the crud still on the plate. For some reason I can’t stand any of the brassicas. They just make me heave and gag. Another thing that I can’t stand is offal of any sort. That has the same effect YUK YUK YUK. I eat mostly everything else. I love the one about feeding the dog with them. The hound always gets the blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSA Shaun Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 THey will have pride of place on my plate with the parsnips, peas, brocolli, cauliflower, carrots and swede. Not to mention the field full of roasties, the slab of turkey and lake of gravy Washed down by multiple christmas special ales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Sprouts are food of the gods! We'll have them with just about any roast meat and with a splash of gravy over the top, they are just devine! Mind you, I also go into the kitchen and steal them without anything else on. They do give me wind though, hence the reason I take Ted for a walk about an hour after eating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I must admit, I can't stand them when they are over cooked, its almost criminal to do this. Perhaps thats why some people don't like them as they have only eaten overooked sprouts. I am very surprised at the poll votes so far. I would have guessed that the balance would have been more even. Good news for the sprout market though. Has anyone tried anything different with sprouts rather than just steamed or boiled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for the sprout market though. Has anyone tried anything different with sprouts rather than just steamed or boiled? Chop the bottome out and shred them up like you would a cabbage ( nice and thin), meanwhile heat some butter in a frying pan with some salt and pepper, cinnamon and sultanas (in fact add what ever spices you like, even curry powder works :yp: ). Now the important part! Add the shredded sprouts and quickly stir fry for NO MORE THAN 25-30 SECONDS! If you over cook sprouts you start to release sulphur. The sulphur smell and taste is what people hate about overcooked sprouts, and what usually causes the side effects . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
