Space Chick Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I absolutely love them They have to be boiled until they are still slightly al dente. Great with chestnuts, lardons or just on their own! The ones from the allotment are divine but we have had a poor year this year so they are on rashons Even my 3 year old nephew loves them.... He's a smart boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean2605 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Oooooh I love them! Could eat a bucket load! They do cause some side effects though. The OH won't touch them with a barge pole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Love them here too but the best thing is my dear son....... He named them cabbage balls when he was young, so cabbage balls they are in our house! Cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Did anyone buy the chocolate wrapped to look like brussels from M&S? I got some for mad aunt - not sure what she'll make of em. Disappointedly small though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 OH undercooked them...they were crispy However, I reheated them today with the remainder of the chestnuts to go with cold turkey and bread sauce and they were just OK! Will do them myself next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
