john luke Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 What have sprouts and Marmite got in common? The answer is that people either love them or hate them. Do you love them, hate them or lie somewhere between? Will you be having them as part of your dinner on or around 25th December?
fygjam Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Always up for a serving of the cruciferous veg. 1
galenkia Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Put me down for a lover. And Marmite as well. 2
andyajn Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Love them boiled, love them baked with bacon or nuts and maple syrup. Put me down for marmite as well
Nightcrawler Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 They are not my favourite vegetable, but I like them as part of a roast dinner. I like the texture and slight bitterness. 1
Painter Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 There might be a bowl of them on the table, but there wont be any on my plate. 2 1 1
Stillearly Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Love them as long as they aren't overcooked , still need a slight crunch to them .... however if they are over boiled and soft ... 1
simon Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Normally have these steamed that way you don't boil the flavour out. Could quite easily eat a plate of these with some gravy & nothing else. 1
Nightcrawler Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 They are nice in Bubble and Squeak the next day. 2 3
Horizondave Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Absolutely essential on the Christmas table, love em all year round. 1
boydeste Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) They form part of my every day veg mix. I never used to be keen on them as a youngster, but now I love them as long as not over cooked. Todays meal I have just eaten :- Edited December 1, 2020 by boydeste 4

Knuckles Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Essential part of the Christmas platter. Over or undercooked a big no-no though, and got to be gravy available to bathe them in. A few years ago, farmers developed a modified strain that was significantly less sour than what was standard in the past, so supermarkets now sell a sweeter product which wins over the hesitant diners. 1
Nickrock Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Positively disgusting used to have stand up fights with my parents over eating that rubbish 3
tko Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 I like them best sauteed in olive oil. It make it easier to scrape them into the trash bin. 3

nampla69 Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 Same as Herr Boydeste ........ could not abide them when I was young. Like rhubarb, tomatoes and liver. Know enjoy all of those. Sprouts are great Christmas Day but agree so much don't overbuilt. Taste great the next day chopped up and fried in butter with bacon, chestnuts and sea salt. Like Marmite too on toast only .... 1
Washedup Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 I dont mind them..make my arse rotten a few hours later though
