What should replace sprouts in a Xmas dinner?

[TheShed7]

Clearly they take up valuable space that could be better utilised. So what should we have instead? Probably veg is good to have, but let's have a decent one instead.

And let's keep this honest. We are all grown ups here, so nobody needs to pretend to like the balls of doom. Even if you are adding bacon or chestnuts to hide the taste of them.

Chocolate and cheese

Nothing. Nothing can replace their perfection.

Has to be sprouts.

Brocoli and/or cauliflower. There's also green beans. I actually like a sprout or 2 once a year but equally if I never saw another one I'd be fine, whereas loss of those other 3 veg would make me sad.

I love sprouts. No need to disguise them. 🤷‍♀️

But the only proper place for sprouts is on a Christmas dinner and a Christmas dinner is not a Christmas dinner without some sprouts. This is a hill I’d be willing to die on.

I like sprouts with bacon and chestnuts. I'd replace with green beans, also with bacon and chestnuts.

I bloody love soggy sprouts 😍

What @weaselwords said.

I love brussel sprouts although if I had to replace them it would be with extra pigs in blankets 😀

You replace the sprouts with more sprouts. I'm thinking this year I'm going to do both steamed sprouts and roast sprouts. Love those things.

You don't need to.pretend guys. Your mum and dad aren't forcing them down you any more. You're free to eat edible food now

Some lovely braised red cabbage. Cooked with a little apple and apple cider vinegar and plenty of butter. I could eat a whole one if my guts would ever let me

Another, (fully grown up) sprout lover who will defend their place on the plate at Christmas!

We all love sprouts. Would replace another green veg, I would go for broccoli or green beans

Why replace God's own vegetable?

Charred hispi cabbage

Braised red cabbage ❤️ can't stand the little balls of green but I always had to eat one to keep my nan happy 🤣

Love sprouts. We have them at least twice a month with a roast or roasted woth broccoli and halloumi as a main meal. You're just wrong OP!

I genuinely love sprouts, even without chestnuts and bacon and whatever shit people add to them. I’ve had them 3 times in the last week already!

More sprouts 💚💚💚

I adore sprouts!

Extra Yorkshire puddings!

😀

Literally anything would be better replacing the sprouts of wrath.
No other vegetable looks like this.
