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.

We roast them here with smoked Paprika, salt, pepper, garlic, and a bit of ground cardamon. They are soooo good.
We're going give this a go on Saturday. If it goes wrong guest will be referred to this threadSmile

@Redcrayons

I do. Unless it’s my mother is making them. She’s probably already got hers on a low light already.

I eat a couple at Christmas. I don't buy them throughout the year. They are one of those vegetables that I will eat if served to me but I would not choose to buy. Others include leeks, red cabbage, celery.

It's sad to see so many people lying to themselves. Baby Jesus would be so disappointed.
SOMEONE doesn't like to admit they are gloriously wrong! Grin
JustBkind · 19/12/2021 23:39

Love love love them!! So do my children! Christmas dinner wouldn’t be the same without them!!!

Covidclaire · 19/12/2021 23:39

We eat them through the year!

BettyFred · 19/12/2021 23:40

I like them.

DappledThings · 19/12/2021 23:40

Love them. Have them with every Sunday roast and about once a fortnight in another dish roasted with broccoli and harissa.

I don't really get why sprouts are such a joke and carrots or other vegetables aren't.

daimbarsatemydogsbone · 19/12/2021 23:40

Love them

ByGrabtharsHammerWhatASavings · 19/12/2021 23:41

ClareBlue good luck, hope it turns out well. Make sure the outer leaves get nice and crispy. Now I'm craving sprouts!

LynetteScavo · 19/12/2021 23:42

I like sprouts. But then I bloody love kale.

@earsup

Yuk...vile....never eaten them..disgusting vegetable...should be banned...dont know anyone who likes them.
So if you've never eaten them how do you know? You need better friends. Properly cooked they are yummy. Good as soup too, especially with stilton and cream.

I love them!

millerpie · 19/12/2021 23:47

Absolutely love them if they’re cooked right. Not for three days like my sister in law does.

Phrenologistsfinger · 19/12/2021 23:47

I am absolutely obsessed with sprouts at the moment, can’t get enough! Raw is the best way to eat them. Yum!Grin

bumbleymummy · 19/12/2021 23:47

I love them! Grin Did hate them when I was younger though. Did I read somewhere that they’ve been bred to taste better over the years???

bumbleymummy · 19/12/2021 23:48

Also loving the ideas for new recipes to try! Thanks! Grin

flowersforbrains · 19/12/2021 23:48

Do you cut them in half. Our grown ones are pretty big
Deadringer · 19/12/2021 23:53

I only like sprouts with turkey, it just works somehow. My dd loves them though, but she loves all green veg, especially cabbage and broccoli.

FavouriteMug · 19/12/2021 23:54

They are bloody delicious - i fantasise about them.

I'm guessing very few of you have had a hot sprout sandwich (losers)
