Barnsley sprout capital of UK....

Just been on Look North, Barnsley eats the most sprouts in the Uk. Going to be a sprout shortage this Xmas due to the dry summer.

 

Good. They're fvcking awful. Satan's testicles.

 

Quite like them myself, also there’s more Vitamin C in a sprout than there is in an orange

 

Thinly slice them with a bit of chorizo, drizzle with olive oil and pop in the oven for a few minutes. It'll change your life and views of them.

**** me, l sound like George Spicer.

 

Like concentrated cabbage.

I am "forcibly persuaded" to eat sprouts whenever the Mrs fancies them, but she absolutely refuses to eat coriander, even though its more nutritious by weight.

 

Cannot get enough of em, al eight em till thi come art mi ears, mmmmmmmmm Sprouts. Had abart 8 fo mi tey tneet N Broccoli n Savoy cabbage, oh yes.

 

That can't be true. As if supermarkets in Barnsley sell vegetables! I mean, I know they put a few on shelves that are preprepared/ chopped etc to make it look like they sell them and are diverse, but come on.... every knows Barnsley supermarkets only sell fake food in packets and boxes ;-)

 

My brother cooks them with cheese & bacon on Christmas day. Superb. Nearly anything is better my adding cheese & bacon though,

 

Pea shoots as well.

 

It won't. Whether you like them or not is largely influenced by your genetic make up. No amount of cheese or chorizo, or any other of the myriad of recipes proposed by those whose genes don't allow them to taste the chemical compound found in Brussels Sprouts, can cover up the sheer foulness for those who can taste it.

 

Beware of naked flames in the vicinity though.

 

Everything changes when roasted Jay, give it a try and you'll be having them at least twice a year...

 

Mash them up with butter taste lovely and have any leftovers on a sandwich Brill.

 

Post your sprout recipes here...

 

What Jays referring to is there is a certain component in sprouts (one producers have been trying to eliminate) that to some people, not all, gives it an acrid taste. So no matter what you do, to those people, they taste unpleasant.

Same thing with asparagus, that it makes some peoples urine smell and others not. Funny old world.

 

Never knew that. In future when me dad tries to tell me that sprouts are nice, I can blame his genes for the fact that they taste like sphincter. A nice comeback!

 

Post your sphincter recipes here....

 

First, get some sprouts...

 

…. shred them finely..... then add the sphincter burger from Maccy D's and....

 

Asparagus also makes your spunk taste even worse than usual, which can be a good thing if you’ve kind of fallen out with the wife and you want to drop a dirty bomb in her gob on that ‘make up shag’.
