Egluntyne Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 [No, not even if you do a 'choo choo train' you'll have to explain for an elderly fella what this is all about! Rhapsody hates sprouts. She calls them "the boils from satan's bottom"! I'm trying to encourage her to try them in one guise or another. Choo choo trains is the game you play with a reluctant toddler when you try to coax them to eat. The spoonful of food is the train and the little mouth is the tunnel and you go "Choo choo choo" until the little train is in the tunnel, and the spoonful of food is deposited in the cakehole.

BeckyBoo Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Oh please, I'm at work and I am laughing out loud at this thread!!! Can I just add that I LOVE sprouts and when I was expecting my babies developed a particularly intense liking for them boiled, then gone cold and smothered in mayonnaise. Mmmmmmm, lovely, I could eat some now! Course, after eating them nearly every day for 9 months I didn't have many friends left and there's a hole in the ozone layer above my house. Some people glow when they're pregnant, some become serene, I did things so awful they could have killed a dog! Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I had to chew Elastoplast. Delicious. What!? . Which nutritional element did your body reckon you were missing out on? I'm feeling left out - I never had a single craving (apart from the ones I already had .... chocolate, crisps, food generally ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Richard- if you want to grow sprout successfully you need Enviromesh,it is sold in loads of garden centres now and online it is not cheap but is great and also works on carrot rootfly. You also need loads of what the chickens do and lime(garden lime that is) Elastoplast for Christmas dinner anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Just to say as it's Christmas Eve I allowed myself a cooks treat - had a sprout with me tea tonight! A big one too!! Yum Yum Mrs Bertie - getting in that festive sprouty feeling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 we didn't have sprouts with our Xmas Eve tea But we did have red cabbage - which was lovely. And we had three eggs today - which, since only three of my girls are laying at the moment (Daisy, Trinny and Floppy (previously known as wimpy chicken)) is not a bad Xmas Eve effort. I hope every one has a great day tomorrow, lots of presents and lots of sprouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
