Title: Brussels
Post by: waspy on 20 November 2009, 14:25:34
Not politics, but the little green kind.
I love them, i've just peeled some for tea, i couldn't resist eating some & so i thought i'd ask who likes them.

Do you love them or do you hate them.
Please vote just for a laugh ;)

They always taste better after Jack Frost has had a bite at them :y

They're like small, green gonads!
On a par with flies, wasps & Tories as things the almighty should never have created!

Ahh. It's nearly that time of year again. Mrs. KW doesn't like them so I normally only get them at Christmas. A time when I eat as many as I can get my hands on and bu66er the consequences. ;D

Generallly Hate 'em -- but eat them at Christmas -- TBH if they are cooked well they aren't really that bad -- they just bring back images of being force fed them as a child. My dad used to cook when he was home on leave and his cabbage could be made into shoes, whilst the brussels just slopped onto the plate ... Yuuuckk

Probably the same soul who squeezed a cow's udder and thought "I'll drink what comes out" --- Thank God it wasn't a bull !!!!

OK then... Without the aid of search engines, which UK Town/City consumes more Brussel Sprouts per head, on average, than any other throughout the year?

Answers on a postcard... No Prize, just for for giggles :y :y

I hate them; they are like little bad cabbages. The couple of times I have eaten a couple I have tasted them again with every burp over the next 7-10 days!

Too wet and dark to supply the porn - but there are 9 out there with lots of green balled goodness.
