Well I love them NOW that we par boil them then fry them in garlic butter, add pine nuts, bits of crispy bacon and finish them off with a sprinkling of parmesan.

But the brussel sprouts served up circa 1988, nope.

Yum! I had visions of this amazing dish for Christmas last year and it was a soggy mess! Sad I'd pre-prepared the sprouts and frozen them the week before and then they'd turned to mush when they defrosted! Devastated!

Love them. Even just microwaved I would eat a plateful. Goes really well with cheese. I know it sounds awful but really works

TwoRockSalmonAndAHaporthOfChips · 18/11/2022 23:40

Love them. Usually lightly boiled, but also wonderful thinly shredded and floating in miso soup.

DrFoxtrot · 18/11/2022 23:41

Heaven

Love them. Just plain boiled like we ate them in the 80's before pancetta was invented 😂

Pasta in cheese sauce and Brussels on the side is Lovely and they are one of the best things about winter as frozen ones are nasty
