Me. Sprouts, shallow fried in garlic oil and coated with a bit of honey and Marmite, are the food of the gods. Sprout and bacon soup, or sprout and blue cheese soup, is delicious as well.

I only eat them at Christmas because I like things to be special in that way. Love them hot. Love them cold. Love them again in bubble and squeak.

If you want traditional Christmas sprouts like Grannie used to make, I'm afraid you're too late - they should have been on to boil during the first week of September . . . .

We eat them when they are in season (definitely not for Christmas - not the tradition here).

DD prefers them with pepper and butter, I like them with chili sauce.

Probably the only food dd gets excited about when she sees them in shops.
They're my favourite too.

I love them too. Don't understand folk that find them disgusting. I've never thought about growing them though. I shall investigate.

Sprouts are THE best!!!

Waitrose do small packets of baby sprouts, I have been known to have an embarrassing number of packets in my trolley!!

I love them roasted in olive oil. I deliberately take some of the leaves off so they're super crunchy!!!

I think it's people who grew up with them being boiled for a fortnight!

There's apparently a scientific reason for it. & people who can't stand them won't like certain other specific things either. Cilantro I think?! (Sorry my memory seems to have left the building these days!!£

Yes apparently it's genetic not to like coriander (cilantro). To some people it tastes like a bar of soap. I adore it.
