Can we all stop this disgusting Christmas collusion?

[noblegiraffe]

No one actually likes sprouts, do they? I mean really?
Everyone has them because 'it's traditional' and 'it wouldn't be Christmas without sprouts'. Not because 'sprouts are delicious, I would eat them every day if I could'

The tradition is just propaganda to fill the coffers of Big Sprout.

So let's all just say no this Christmas. No one will mind. Honest.

Couldn't agree more!

They aren't toooo bad if they are smothered in gravy and cranberry sauce.
But then most things would taste ok like that I suppose!

I love sprouts. DH even puts them in Thai curry when he makes it.

I love sprouts and, after many years of training (hiding them in stews), so does DH. We eat them all year round. So there!

Dh and ds love them. Dd and myself despise them.

Woah there.

Sprouts rock.

Send all the sprouts to me! We all love the little green things at our house.

Long since boycotted that particular Christmas tradition. Back to hell with you evil sprouts, I say!

We love them - though only because DH knows how to cook them. We once served them on cocktail sticks with a gravy dip as a canape. It was a joke, but they all got eaten, so we can't be the only ones to like them.

I love sprouts :)

I love them but am on my own in this house. I will be having them on Christmas Day but don't usually bother otherwise.

I like the smelly farts the day after a bit less

DH cuts them in half and fries them in a pan with garlic, butter and little pieces of bacon. They are one of the best things about Christmas dinner for me.

However the sulphur-scented gooey sloppy things MIL serves up are an offence to both body and soul.

Sprouts on cocktail sticks sounds like an AIBU waiting to happen.

I love sprouts, I bought some yesterday just because! They need to not to over cooked though, mushy sprouts are baaaad

I really like them. They are definitely a marmite food IMO.

I love sprouts and I do eat them regularly they're in season. I don't like Christmas cake, mince pies, Christmas pud, spiced beef or ham, in fact I really only look forward to roast potatoes, bread sauce and sprouts so I would be very disappointed if sprouts were taken off the menu.

I like sprouts

I love sprouts. Uncle fries them in butter with lessons and chestnuts , yum.

I think Big Sprout must have got wind (ha ha) of this thread and sent propaganda ministers because in no way do these responses accurately reflect the opinion of the population.

I hate them, they make me gag however bthey are cooked.
DH and DS2 absolutely love them.
Weirdos

But Christmas dinner wouldn't be complete without a sprout or two

Don't stop the sprouting, please.

Ds1 and 2 love them, I have no idea why but apparently they are the best bit

Yes I quite like them and eat them fairly often in winter. Wouldn't say they are my favourite vegetable but they're nice enough.

I hate sprouts with a passion! Although SIL made a Gino de Campo inspired sprout and bacon dish last year that was delish. In fact, you've reminded me to look up the recipe so I can replicate this year! I'll share when I find it.

I like sprouts!

Not mum's overcooked christmas sprouts though.

They're nice raw too.
