brussels sprouts in potato salad: acceptable?

[MorrisZapp]

Have been asked to make a potato salad. Will not be using mayo, will have creme fraiche instead.

Morrisons had no chives left but I do have sprouts.

Could this be a festive hit? It's to go with a buffet of beef, gammon etc.

Or will I be hated and reviled?

I wouldn't be happy.

Will the sprouts be cooked?

I have to say that as much as I love both spuds and sprouts, I'm not sure Christmas is the time to experiment with mixing them. Unless it's a warm salad possibly.

I'm not convinced though.

Ewwwww yuk! It's bad enough that sprouts even exist but to ruin a perfectly good potato salad with them is sacrilege! The same goes for creme fraiche.

No takers then :)

Ok, well I have the potatoes and the creme fraiche. Any other corner shop greens that could go in? Don't think I'll get to a supermarket.

Spring onions or thinly sliced red onion would be acceptable.

Sprouts err no.

Only if you're cooking for people you don't like...

Serious suggestion though: chives, spring onions, dill, or green chillies are all really good in potato salad.

Sprouts are not an acceptable chive alternative.

Sprouts are detested by many. I wouldn't put them in a dish I was taking to be shared.

My dad puts spring onion in his and I love it

I love sprout. But for the love of god NO

NO

NO

just no.

But yes to scallions!

No sprouts, absolutely no way.

Potato salad with spring onions or dill or parsley or coriander but not sprouts please. Thanks.

Wrong wrong wrong.

And I love sprouts

Well, I would have you shot......

Brussels are the devil's work. Serve'em if you must but not in potato salad FGS!!!!

Ew, ew, ew!

If you need to bulk it out, pop some al dente pasta in there too.

I love both creme fraich and sprouts but that sounds fucking revolting.

Wasn't this recipe in Letitia Cropleys cook book?

Yes next to the cake with marmite icing!

That's the one, Jolly!

:)

Well I got my answer. Merry Christmas to all xx

My DH says if you're ruining it with creme fraiche anyway, sprouts won't make any difference. But he is a bit high on port and gruyere

I lost you on them creme fraiche.

Sprouts...
Do you really need to ask.

REALLY????

Gherkins are lush in potato salad
