brussels sprouts - yay or nay?

[longdog]

I am a really sad person I have the Brussels Mexicaine episode of Bottom on video.

That's not sad at all. I have loads of Bottom on video, or at least I would have if my ex would give them back

Bean Sprout Salad

* 1 bunch radishes, sliced
* 1 head fresh anise
* 1 or 2 carrots, grated
* sliced red onion or scallions to taste
* toss with rice vinegar

Delish.

******** cucumber????????? Why bugger up a good recipe by adding a disgusting thing like cucumber.

Fucking hell if i had known i would have been round your gaff for some dinner mate. Bloody spot on . I used to hate them and refuse to eat them i like them now i am older.

it was a bit of a late night thing though! sat down to eat at 11:45pm

Yummy, yummy. I might grow some of these next year:

Brussel Sprout 'Tozer Selection' (red)

Here is an old fashioned alternative that has a distinct nutty flavour better than any other. Serve raw in salad or boil it like any other variety. Bright crimson red Winter sprouts! Either raise in seed trays or open ground.

Sow March to April thinly in rows 6" apart. Sow in ½" deep drills.
When plants are 6" high set out 2½ ft apart.

 

[deja_vu]

its not just a case of disliking them, I physically can't eat them. They make me gag

You can make a very nice curry with your old sprouts. One of the most succesful dry curries I ever made.

 

[parallelepipete]

well?

What an angst-ridden question!

What can you possibly have against fun-sized cabbages?
