stoice Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Some sprouts were going on sale near me so i bought some. I hate them. OH hates them. The girls LOVE them! Raw though. Not too sure they'd appreciate them cooked with gravy and stuffing! quite funny watching them with their own 'mini cabbage' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 ooh, never given them sprouts I love sprouts though - the mushier the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 .... I love sprouts though - the mushier the better bluuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh, not about the sprouts but the cooking them til they're mush I love sprouts that are still a lovely bright green and a little al dente. When they're cooked too much they go muddy green and sloppy and smell yukky....each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I love sprouts too . Mushy, firm, not fussy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My girls are eating the trimmings from a pile of sprouts right now. They love them. Last year, a sprout hater on the forum called them "the boils on Satan's bottom". The image has stayed with me for a whole year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejmum Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 My girls always leave leftover sprouts and carrots until they are desparate! They much prefer leftover roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings! My four year old daughter,however, has decided that sprouts are now her favourite veg, and was dissappointed when there were none with the school xmas dinner!

Hen Watch Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I hate sprouts. The chickens hate raw sprouts - but are rather partial to them cooked...... fussy....... My 10 year old daughter loves all vegetables apart from Aubergine and doesn't really like meat. So last year for Christmas Day lunch she had her own individual sprout risotto. She loved it.

Valkyrie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yum, sprouts - any way, mushy, al-dente, raw. I love this time of year. DD likes them too and my brother only eats them raw. OH isn't fond, DS is a carnivore so not for him. If you order a veggie Biryani from our local Indian restaurant, they always have some sprouts in it.

Hen Watch Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Any chance of the recipe? Well you asked for it................ My hubbie is the cook in our house and he used this recipe but added pre-cooked quartered sprouts instead of asparagus. http://www.waitrose.com/recipe/Asparagus_Risotto.aspx I personally wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, but Harriet liked it.

Tiggy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 YUCK I hate sprouts mom used to boil them to within an inch of their life & the smell even now makes my stomach churn, everyone else at home love them, but i flatly refuse to grow sprouts in my veggie patch corrected my terrible spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenmb Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I love sprouts too (but not mushy ones). We are lucky to be able to buy them straight from an organic farm and get them still on the stalk. I carefully cut the sprouts off leaving the outer leaves on the sprout 'tree' then hang this up for the girls which they love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 steam your sproats lightly. Then fry them in lots of butter with carroway seeds in and a bit of thyme. Can be steamed in advance, then only takes a few minutes to fry them up ready for Christmas dinner The word according to BBC Good Food Vegetarian Christmas magazine! Very nice, I had them last night.

KAZAROO Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I love them raw- great for iron! The girls like them; the dogs like them; my son loves them and green beans- Adz hates them! Maybe we need to do a love 'em or hate 'em poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowWhite Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Our girls ate the cold leftover cooked sprouts from Friday's tea for their breakfast today - with a generous sprinkling of garlic powder Then gave us three lovely eggs!

Cinnamon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I had a cheapo bag of sprout (50p I think) which I blitzed lightly in my blender,so they were in nice leafy little bits, & the hens fell on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
