It's the start of the sprout season and this family LOVE sprouts

Titter titter


Sprouts - the ultimate food fight ammo!

Warning : tale of abominable political incorrectness follows:




















I can't look at a sprout without remembering the annual Christmas food fight in our dining hall at Uni - all the food was served in suitable bites sized chunks - roasties, carrots, sprouts, stuffing balls etc - shocking waste of food I know, but great fun. We waited until everyone had been served, then let fly. Once we were all plastered with gravy etc and there was no more ammo, we had pudding, with lashings of lumpy custard. Happy days...

sorry - it's no to sprouts.

I like just about anything else - broccoli, parsnip, turnip, raw fish, tripe ...

but not sprouts.

Very funny.

B U T, I'm not a great lover of sprouts myself, I have one or two on my plate at Christmas as a token gesture, and some years I do actually eat one of them...

Regards, Peter.

Tripe!, you actually like tripe?

That is one of the most disgusting games I've ever played!

Sue, I would have hated to have gone to your uni - I can't bear food fights!

And I love sprouts!

Depends how it's cooked I guess - but yes, I quite like it.

One of the best meals I have ever eaten, in the Auvergne last August, tender little parcels - it was wonderful.

Apologies to any veggies reading though.

Oooh goody fried tripe (preferably udder) and onions!

Ah well, when it's a toss up between snails, frog's legs, chicken gizzards or tripe.......

(great game though).

My aversion to tripe goes back to the war when, as a schoolboy in a 'not well off' family, I was not allowed to leave the table until I had finished it. It really was not nice, especially when it had gone cold. I've never eaten it since.

We had some sprouts off our veg plot this weekend. Picked, steamed and eaten within 30 minutes. Never having liked them before, I have to say these were delicious!

Ha, you sound like my dad. He grew up on tripe and, as a result, steadfastly refused to allow the stuff anywhere near his own house. So I was never introduced to its delicate flavours. Actually my dad had lots of experiences I never got a chance to try - tripe, coal mining and prisoner of war camp are just three.

Sprouts are great! Can't get enough of them

bean sprouts ? do they count/ I quite like those.

Sprouts are one of the good things about winter . I have a great recipe for a spicy sprouts and potato soup, so if anyone wants a copy just PM me.

Love the game

As for sprouts, they are great for stir-fry, but steamed...

That game has made my day!!! Thanks Skylark!

Sprouts though, well lets just say they're better than cabbage...

I like sprouts too (And that game ! Trouble is just playing it has an effect on me!) , but often people overcook them so they go all soft and mushy.
I like them with just a little bit of bite. ('al dente' is the term I think)

Sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables ..... though I don't like my mum's - they're all mushy

I also like them al dente

Just scored 3,996

3424 on my first go

I still love this game

COming up to sprout season again!

I saw on the news that sprouts are coming into season early this year....

You're out of date Skylark, that was the game that started this whole thread !

Edit. Oops sorry , it was you who started, so it's a revival. Couldn't help but have a couple of games though !

Sprouts are OK... When it's Christmas dinner my granny always makes me eat at least one sprout!

I like sprouts but Christmas dinner often turns into a theatre of biological warfare if people eat too many..

Ahh, great game! I sat and played for ages

I LOVE sprouts, especially cooked with chestnuts. Mmmm.

I love sprouts. I get cravings for sprouts from about August onwards (how weird is that!)

I despise sprouts.

I second that.

If I get a sprout craving, I go out and buy sprouts

Woohoo for sprouts

Me Me! Unless they are overcooked, then yuk!

what's this?
some people don't like sprouts?
what's wrong with these people?
how can you not like little baby cabbages?
It's discrimination in my book.

After lightly par-boiling I'm going to pan-fry em with lardons, add cream, reduce, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and parmesan and then grill.
