Sprouts


There was a dearth of these vegetables across the UK this Christmas. I know where they all went. To supermarkets in Stornoway. We were swimming in them, trolley loads of them. They couldn't shift them, sprouts got sold at 25 p per punnet. And I can't stand the sight of them anymore.

    I love these with wam melted butter drizzled over them and a little salt and pepper.  But yes, too much of anything ruins it and I can see how you might feel that way.

    I like them if they are not cooked to death. Not very often though. Helen

    Hahaha, guess they couldn't get themn shipped to the other areas?  Well, I like them, in moderation.  Here's hoping for more balance in veggie selection in the new year.

    Guido, I know why there was a dearth of Sprouts. It is because no one like them or eats them, have a great New Year, Bill

    Another thought that is certainly a great picture of a horrible vegetable. Bill

    An abundance of any food is a good way to start off the new year.   I like them well cooked... it improves the flavor!!  LOL!!!  Happy New Year~!!

    I think I would have been happier myself if it were chocolate!  Sprouts are my least favorite vegetable.

    I love sprouts.
    You can never have too many sprouts, I don't think.

    I'd eat it wrapped in plenty of bacon.  Bacon makes everything better.  ;-P

    You can always come visit me for dinner.  I've got tamales coming out my ears.
