My DH has just come back from the shops with 14 sprouts

[bumblebee50]

He was shopping for New Year's Day dinner while I did the housework. There will be 7 of us for dinner, all adults. We are having steak with pepper sauce and steak pie. He bought four sachets of pepper sauce and 14 sprouts. When I asked why he only bought 14 sprouts his answer was "who eats more than 2 sprouts?" If you were going somewhere for dinner would you not expect to at least have the option of having half a dozen?

[Ilovecaindingle]

Sorry no words.......

[WiMoChi]

Ooh I'd have all 14 love them!

[TitaniasCloset]

14 sprouts still more than the poor woman who received one individual sprout wrapped up nicely in her online shop

[SparkleShinyGlitter]

I wouldn't want any sprouts with steak or steak pie tbh I just don't think they go together.

[PoorAndRich]

Men really don't think like women.

We had three families over for festive drinks and my dh bought a bottle of Buck's Fizz and two bottles of wine . Well he knows I can drink a bottle of wine to myself so I don't know what he was thinking....

At least you have lots of sauce!

[Naicehamshop]

Just snorted tea down my nose at this, op!

[TroysMammy]

Crikey I'd eat 14 myself.

[LimpidPools]

That's really very funny. But maddeningly frustrating for you I should think!

[KingJoffreysRestingCuntface]

I like the idea of rationed sprouts.

"One sprout? Or two?"

It's fine.

[haveacupoftea]

That is funny

[TalcAndTurnips]

They are magic sprouts of course.

If you throw them out of the kitchen window, by tomorrow morning there will have grown a giant sprout stalk.

Your husband can then climb to the top of it, where he may be able to see over the fence into next door's garden - and possibly though the shed window revealing Mr NDN's stash of vintage Fiesta and Razzle mags.

[Blacksox]

Steak with pepper sauce, steak pie and sprouts.

Is it me or is that a weird menu?

[Userhousequestion31]

Steak pie & steak?

[Passmethecrisps]

Especially weird with just two sprouts on every plate. Sitting there like a pair of castrated bollocks

[AlabasterSnowball]

No it's not you Blacksocks

[Fluffyears]

14 too many if you ask me. I'm a super taster and they taste vile to me, so bitter and horrid.

[pipsqueak25]

i don't get the sprouts with steak bit

[MrsPeelyWally]

I think its a choice of steak pie or steak.

[blueskyinmarch]

We are having steak wth peppercorn sauce for Hogmany dinner. I love sprouts but they don’t go with this dinner. We are having green beans and carrots.

Why steak plus steak pie? Bit weird!

[Toast3]

That's so funny....

[HappyFlappy]

Me 'an all, WiMo.

I love sprouts, me! They are the Brassica of the Gods.

[SoupDragon]

I would have no sprouts at all. they are Satans bollocks.

[mimi14]

I ordered a bag of sprouts on my shopping. They didn't have them so they subbed them for 6 individual sprouts
