The sooner we all admit this, the better. You're just lying to yourselves if you say otherwise.

The worst are the people who say "oh but if you fry them with bacon and crack cocaine they taste great." No. That is the bacon and drugs being worsened by this green hell.

Let's admit this once and for all.

I love them, as does my 8yr old granddaughter!

Loveisthere · 19/12/2021 23:07

I love them, dh would vomit if offered one

DaisyWaldron · 19/12/2021 23:07

Love them. I've just been scoffing a late night snack of leftover roast sprouts from this evening's roast dinner.

Nowayoutonlydown · 19/12/2021 23:07

I would usually agree, but they're a massive pregnancy craving for me right now.
Why couldn't I just be normal and want a maccas?

Sparklepants53 · 19/12/2021 23:08

But but but they’re delicious!!!

Even nicer than cabbage 😁 I love a barassica I do!

3luckystars · 19/12/2021 23:08

I absolutely LOVE them. Just ordinary boiled ones. I LOVE them!!!!

tillyandmilly · 19/12/2021 23:09

I will will eat them under duress as they are a green vegetable and hence are good for you! Mind you don’t really like any vegetables to be honest but try and eat them every day

thisgardenlife · 19/12/2021 23:10

Boiled, I'm not that keen but roasted with red onion until caramelised and topped with grated parmesan they are yum.:)

randomchap · 19/12/2021 23:10

I love them, they go on every roast from the first frost

I've never felt the need to cook them with bacon. They're great as is.

VaggieMight · 19/12/2021 23:11

Loved them since a kid much to my mum's surprise. Still love them now. So does baby Jesus.

Spottybluepyjamas · 19/12/2021 23:12

I LOVE sprouts!

user1471517900 · 19/12/2021 23:12

"Even better than cabbage" is quite the low bar you're setting there.

Sometimes ... sometimes I eat them ... even when it isn't Christmas. There - I've said it. Brussel sprout lovers of the world uniteGrinGrin

Wandamakesporridge · 19/12/2021 23:13

I love them, I much prefer them to meat. Little baby cabbages in my mind. Smile

ShowOfHands · 19/12/2021 23:13

Not only do DH and I like them an awful lot, both DC absolutely love them. DS would eat them with every meal if allowed.

CheapFoodShits · 19/12/2021 23:14

I bloody love sprouts.

ShowOfHands · 19/12/2021 23:14

God I love cabbage too. It's delicious. I once made myself ill eating too much cabbage.

Madhairday · 19/12/2021 23:15

I love them. My local chippy is doing some Christmas themed food, so the other night ds tried their battered pigs in blankets and I had...battered sprouts. I kid you not. They were lush.

xprincessxjanetx · 19/12/2021 23:15

I love sprouts, always have done.

Antiqueanniesmagiclanternshow · 19/12/2021 23:16

@earsup

Yuk...vile....never eaten them..disgusting vegetable...should be banned...dont know anyone who likes them.
If you've never eaten them, how do you know they're yuk? They actually delicious
Phoenix76 · 19/12/2021 23:18

@CheapFoodShits

I bloody love sprouts.
Ditto that, I could easily eat and enjoy a bowl of them. My 8 year old dd loves them too, always has. The 5 year old can’t even look at them!
Cattenberg · 19/12/2021 23:22

I quite like them and so do my pet degus.

If you asked DD, she’d say she hates Brussels sprouts. However, she’ll happily eat “fairy cabbages” and says they’re juicy. She’s bound to twig one day...

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 19/12/2021 23:24

I love sprouts. And we don't only have them at Christmas.

DwangelaForever · 19/12/2021 23:25

My favourite vegetable especially if they're overboiled and going a bit squishy! Divine.

Toddlerteaplease · 19/12/2021 23:25

I love them
