Any excuse to put the price up! It's a bit early to harvest for xmas anyway.
Which reminds me what is the most popular wine at xmas.
I don't like sprouts ;D

Have you tried sprouts lightly steamed then stir fried with garlic??? ;D ;D ;D
I don't like em either.............. :(
Oh loves them but Possum and I hate them. I've tried doing them well done, medium, rare, or slightly crunchy if your prefer, boiled, steamed, sautéed, plain, with cream and nutmeg, with bacon bits, with cumin, with caraway.
They're just awful any which way.
A friend of mine who is married to an Indian lady has to endure them curried, he reckons you get used to them but I'm not sure I could even tough I like both curry & sprouts.
I do mine with a chopped onion, cumin and coriander- delicious!
Can we have a poll??
its a bit like marmite- people seem to love or hate sprouts. I love both :D

So do I! Just had Marmite and cheese sandwiches for tea!
I am in the "hate 'em" camp... (same as marmite!)
Though cooked in with the carrots, they are just about edible, as the carrots sweeten them... I was always told to eat one on Christmas day, to show "willing" and I now seem to carry on this tradition despite me and the OH hating them!!!
The checkout assistants never seem to think it odd when I go through the checkout with TWO sprouts!!!
One of my best xmas party tricks needs a plateful of sprouts, plus a box of matches ;)
when I had a vegetarian curry at The Ruby Murray in Westbury on Trim, they put sprouts in it :o
anyway a sprout is just a cabbage with no ambition

Hmmm -tomorrow breakfast- must try ;D
Sprouts i love em and marmite too.Curried sprouts sounds very interesting but may add to greenhouse gases! ;D ;D ;D
I like some while some are awful. I tend to taste a bit in the shop to see if they are bitter or not. I do not buy sealed packets.
Maximus are advertised as being bitter free. If sprouts are bitter then nothing will cover this up. But frozen ones are awful. No way of knowing whether the packet contains sweet or bitter ones.
I don't like cabbage at all and only a few varieties of oranges and apples. Very fussy eater me.
Sprouts and marmite now that is an interesting thought.

got to make your own entertainment on the IoW then
Marmite on toast, very nice. Bread and butter and marmite and tomato sandwiches, brill. We are never without marmite (strange word when one types it and looks at the spelling). Bovril is good too. Sprouts with dinner two days running, big bag for 50p (Morrisons) the ones I grew last year all blown.
We put marmite on the dogs bum to stop him licking it ;D But love sprouts.
love sprouts so much I grow 3 kinds so they last all winter so good job there arn,t any naked flames in the house ;D
marg
Love sprouts - and, surprisingly, it's the favourite green veg. of my three grandsons.
(If my dear old mum was still around I'm sure there would be a pot of them boiling away on her hob now - to be ready for dinner on Christmas Day!)
Sprouts... Great Marmite... Yuck what is it ? old beer leftovers !
My first job christmas day is to go out into the garden and pick enough sprouts for 9 and get them ready for cooking . I grow Bridgett and the lunch is cooked by our son and his wife called Bridgett. We all love them but they must not be overcooked just crisp.
love sprouts and there is a variety called 'revenge' which I am serving this year ;D
take cover :o

Do you dig before you plant? I used to have this problem till I stopped digging as much.
They like really firm ground so I just hoe before I plant and really firm them in, also recomend "noisette" from organic catalogue. Superb I could eat them every day. Have had to stop growing (f)artichokes though!! ;D ;D ;D
sprouts and Marmite sounds a combination worth trying :), like Nigella's Gammon and Coca Cola...........
Love sprouts and believe it or not my kids fight over the last ones... Good harvest this year, grew Samba and Montgomery( ??? ) I think
