I loved them and could eat a whole plateful.
DH hates them 😁

Beautiful, whether lightly steamed, stir fried or shamelessly overcooked in true British style.

Devil's testicles.

Which is odd because I love pretty much every other brassica.

Love them. But they cannot be crunchy!

Interested in this thread?

Love them. I always have a bag of frozen ones in the freezer.

Since I've got an air fryer and found that I can cook them in there, I'm getting pretty addicted!

MrsThimbles · 19/11/2022 00:38

Delicious in any form.

JustMaggie · 19/11/2022 01:12

They're very nice cut in half and deep fried with lots of salt and a squeeze of lemon.

IreneJones · 19/11/2022 01:16

Love them. They're even better cold the following day.

Fantastic raw, or sliced and pan-fried with chestnuts and bacon

ShellsOnTheBeach · 19/11/2022 01:19

Food of the Gods!!!😎

Love them. And I don’t need any fancy bollocks on them either. A plate of nicely boiled (not over cooked) sprouts would be my ideal veggie Xmas dinner!

XenoBitch · 19/11/2022 01:38

Boiled to death.. no thanks.
Roasted in an air fryer with a bit of oil and balsamic vinegar. Yes please!

I have grown my own this year for Christmas!

Aposterhasnoname · 19/11/2022 09:26

Delicious. Food of the gods if just boiled, but fry them with garlic and bacon and I could live off them.

BestIsWest · 19/11/2022 09:28

Love. Love. Have been known to swap them with others for roasties.

AlisonDonut · 19/11/2022 09:29

I have 3 brussles sprouts plants in the potager ready to be sliced off on Christmas Morning.

I never used to grow them in the UK as they would get mauled with bugs but this year, if you can get them through the flea beetle stage they are growing so fast that they aren't troubled by other pests at all.

Big up the Brussels Massive.

Iliveinanoodie · 19/11/2022 09:32

Love sprouts. Apparently they are so much milder and sweeter nowadays compared to the bitter ones of grandparent's experience.
They've been bred different or something!!

LubaLuca · 19/11/2022 09:33

I like them, but they're not my favourite green veg. I could eat a plateful though, no probs.

Bluevelvetsofa · 19/11/2022 09:34

Another fan.

Same in this house. I stopped getting them cos dh didn't like them but have started again. I use a steamer and I just take them out first leaving the rest for dh that also includes the broccoli

Love them, mixed with lardons. They are very good for you as well.

caringcarer · 19/11/2022 09:57

Hate them and hate smell when they are cooked.
