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.

Sprouts are better than stuffing IMO!

(I know, I’m weird, I just don’t like the texture of stuffing)

I’d have more sprouts less turkey…..

We last had them from our veg box, but I’ve seen them in the supermarkets on and off. I also have a friend who grows them on her allotment!

If you don’t like them you’re probably cooking them wrong.

I actually really do like them and have them with other meals not Christmas dinner (even have been known to chuck them in stir fries…)

But if you really need a replacement I’d go for another green veg, probably broccoli or peas

Sprouts are the creation of Satan himself, anything is acceptable as a replacement including nothing at all.

Nothing can replace sprouts - we love them!

We always have green beans - they are green, and one of DS1s favourite vegetables.

I think salad could go quite well too if you aren't having gravy.

Sprouts are the food of gods! roast /air fry them, don't boil the hell out of them hours/days.

Garden peas.

More sprouts - I love sprouts. No need to fuck about with veg in a xmas dinner- keep it green & fresh to provide contrast with the fat & carbs

salad and no gravy?? What sort of Xmas dinner is going on here?? 😱

Cauliflower cheese or leeks in cheese sauce.

Literally ANYTHING else

I love sprouts! Never boil them though, I halve them and stir fry with garlic and onions - we have them often not just for Christmas! You can replace with any green vegetables - kale, cabbage, leeks, broccoli?

This. And more roast potatoes. You could replace the vast majority of foods with those two items actually.

Noooo! Sprouts dipped in mint sauce are the way to go 😍

Nothing. It's the law you have sprouts whether you like them or not :)

No sprouts = not a Christmas dinner!

Are you mad?

Sprouts are my favourite veg, no way they’re being replaced. And sprouts aren’t just for Xmas, I’ll have them whenever I can.

Perfectly accompanied by some sweet chantenay carrots and petis pois.

be gone, you evil sprout hating person!

I love sprouts !
shredded leeks and savoy cabbage with plenty of butter could be a good green alternative

I wouldn't eat sprouts if you pay me. I hate the buggers.

Honey glazed carrots, oven baked cheese cauliflower and roasted cauliflower steaks drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice and garlic are delicious as a substitute.

Sweetcorn with plenty of butter.

Asparagus?

I love sprouts! I could happily eat a bowl of sprouts, stuffing and pigs in blankets every day in December♥️
