What's going on?

It's the 22nd and still no sprouts thread.

Poor show if you ask me.

 

"The humble Brussels sprout, once Britain's most reviled
vegetable, is enjoying a revival this Christmas."

An excellent vegetable.
Should not be overboiled but if done al dente it is
tender yet firm enough to be carved.
When I were a lad oop north we 'ad a sprout for
Christmas dinner between twelve of us.
Carved so fine that there were leftovers for boxing day.

Happy Days!

Sprouts is best on Boxing day, as bubble.

 

Hah. My campaign is working. Soon people will barely remember "the
devil's vegetable".

Let me know how you get on.

 

Eh? When did this thread suddenly switch from sprouts to parsnips?

 

"The little green turd".

What do you mean get on? There was only one question and I got it
right.

 

What, a *whole* sprout?

Jammy bastard

 

What's Gower got to do with it?

 

I think you've answered my question then.

Actually I got three, so **** off.

 

Y'know, I used to hate sprouts, but that had a lot to do with the fate of
most all vegetables in the school canteen, i.e. they got boiled to death.
In recent years, my rehabilitation is coming along in leaps and bounds to
the extent that I /really/ enjoy properly cooked greens (al dente).

Mmm... Curly Kale...

I like sprouts. [1]

[1] Or so my mother kept telling me.

 

My nan pickles em after xmas, strangely appetising snack.

Cheerz - Brownz

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Brownz

That sounds so disgusting, it's probably worth a try. Get her recipe,
will you?

 

<fx: nods>

Good work.

 

Stop me if it's too difficult:

Sprouts + pickling vinegar + time = pickled sprouts.
