Love 'em - and they produce the most glorious farts.

My favourite vegetable.

For my 2000th post I can categorically state that I absolutely love the humble micro-cabbage (aka The Brussel Sprout).
Yum yum. Not overcooked though, I prefer them al-dente.

Vile.

 

[Max Paper]

Amazing, we have them throughout the year!

 

[Nibble]

If cooked well, food of the gods, especialy with chopped chestnuts mixed in and loads of butter. If overcooked to a soggy pulp then they are rank. Those who don't enjoy them it's probably down to your Mrs' not cooking them properly, just give them my advice and tell them nibble say's "You're welcome".

 

[Cheshire Cat]

They are very easy to grow as well.Sprouts IN.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

The modern sprout is much better tasting due to crossing various variaties,so worth giving them another try but still must not be overcooked.

 

[BensGrandad]

For years I had them boiled right from my childhood and recently read a thread on here about frying them with bacon so tried it. I must say this improved the taste infinitely and that is how they will be cooked for Christmas Dinner..

Had 4 given to me today with my roast belly pork buy didn't touch them. Should maybe had one but they just don't do it for me.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Nothing like a good SPRAAHHT, as Len Goodman would put it. Hated them as a child, love them as an adult.
Have to be cooked right, mind - not boiled to within an inch of their lives. Cook with chestnuts and/or bacon and make sure they're still crisp. Yum.
And whoever it was didn't like roast parsnips - are you SERIOUS? Beautiful roasted with taters, carrots and spraahhts.

My favourite vegetable by a country mile

PS

Q: What's the difference between a bogey and a Brussel sprout?

A: You can't get a kid to eat a Brussel sprout

Spring greens and kale would probably be my favourite leafy brassicas.

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

I love all me greens. Pile everything on, that's what I say to mother at Christmas, and to the blokes at carvery places!

 

[brakespear]

Love 'em. Christmas dinner isn't Christmas dinner without them. Roast parsnips on the other hand

Spot on on both counts

 

[TheJasperCo]

Absolutely LOVE 'em. Shame they're only around for Christmas really. They are wonderful on their own or with bacon and chestnuts.

 

[BensGrandad]

The only problem with sprouts is that their season is so long and they are available for such a long period of time over the winter that after about 3 months they get a bit boring and we are looking forward to new fresh vegetables newly grown in the spring/summer.
