Sprouts

Is this the year when Mumsnetters finally admit that they are little balls of disgustingness.

You're grown adults. You don't HAVE to eat them. You can enjoy food.

Also stop using them to ruin bacon

I love a sprout. 😁

No way! It’s not Christmas without sprouts, sorry. 💨

and I like the taste btw!

I don’t mind them but we haven’t had them for years as no one else likes them. We’re having garlic cabbage instead.

I love them - but only fried or steamed

i love sprouts. Steamed first, then tossed in butter & Marmite. Yum

Is this the year when Mumsnetters finally admit that not everybody has to enjoy the same things? You're grown adults. You don't HAVE to eat anything you don't want to. You can enjoy the food of your choice and be pleased for others enjoying something else instead.

Merry Christmas! I have a pile of sprouts needing attention, as it happens. Yum!

LOVE them! Roast them is the best way. This year I will be roasting them with garlic and parmesan.

Love sprouts and would eat them every day if I could.

I got the last of them in Waitrose yesterday. Please don't buy them if you don't like them - leave them for people like me!

Love them 😊

Sprouts with chestnuts and bacon, what's not to love?

The sprouts part obviously! 😛

It took me until I was about 35 before I started to like them, and I actively eat them by choice now.

We roast sprouts whenever I see them in the shops. Eat them cold with my salads for lunch.
Why would you dislike sprouts?

Sprouts are great.
Sprouts boiled into oblivion à la grandparents' generation, less so.

Try them with pancetta and chestnuts, or lemon zest and herbs or nuts, plain with butter, shredded in a stir fry etc.

We eat them all year round, in lots of different ways.

Pan fried with soy, oyster sauce, spring onions and garlic is a favourite. J

I'd rather sprouts than turkey...

I love them, but would have a difficult time explaining to anyone else why they should try them.

They are lovely fried with bacon, sorry!

Sprouts are the king of vegetables.

I love sprouts. Add in some stuffing and I could probably start my own gas fired power station.

Only DH likes them in our house - nevertheless he still refers to them as the 'Devil's testicles'.

Love sprouts - just briefly boiled.
I have to do extra as they are a fundamental part of our traditional bubble and squeak on Boxing Day too 😆

Like King Henry VIII then

Sprouts with bacon equals heaven.

I love sprouts!
But boy do they make me fart.

Something happened to my sense of taste when I was pregnant, many years ago, and I suddenly started eating them. Have loved them ever since. I'm neither proud nor ashamed, but I do like them.
