No sprouts!

Er, sprouts are green - that's what we have in b&s - along with onions, honey roasted carrots, cabbage - whatever there is going begging in the fridge. I love bubble and squeak.

How do you know what's 'really good' Gouda?

Esspee

I couldn't find any decent ones this week, we went to Asda for a change and they had very few which looked rather old. Perhaps they are not picking until just before Christmas. I'll have to make do with cabbage instead.

Although if I don't go and put the oven on we won't be having anything tonight.


(actually M&S duck portions)

Just had some with sausages and mash (mashed with added butter and thick cream–food for gods!). Microwaved the sprouts and then melted really good Gouda cheese on top of them under the grill. Fab food.

I love sprouts too I usually buy them most weeks. OH won't hear of them in 'Bubble' though it has to be greens.

I love sprouts, some cooking now to go with our roast beef. Been getting loose ones from Morrisons, very small but they have been tasty. Our daughter in law will be delighted if she can't get any at Christmas .

Lidl were selling what looked like 'kalettes' too.

Enjoy your sprouts while you can. Once I am in control they will be banished and become extinct.

The people who pick them now, gj.

I have frozen ones as I love them but nobody else does. I heard that the potato harvest wasn't too good either so the prices will be up!

wonder who is going to pcik them post Brexit?

Yes, really ana, bought for under £1 from B&M. I was told about them by a friend who jokingly said that he had seen them for sale and couldn't believe it. Maybe he had a point and I'm just deluded as I've had them for about a year now and still waiting for the desire to make bubble and squeak to arrive.

Never heard of tinned sprouts! Don't like the things myself but a favourite with rest of family.

My DGC will be delighted ?

Tinned sprouts?!!! Never come across those...

Me too Jane10 I love sprouts and after the main meal they do make good bubble & squeak. Not recommended for eating prior to an amorous evening.

Anyone tried kalettes - sold in M&S as flowering sprouts? They have frillier leaves and are slightly purple-tinged.
Slightly less bitter than sprouts tend to be but not particularly tasty.
Cross between sprouts and kale and according to what I've read are very trendy!

I love sprouts soooo much. I can happily eat a whole bowlful as my entire dinner. For some reason DH isn't too happy about it

I have a tin of sprouts lurking in my cupboard just for this very reason . In reality I didn't really buy them to keep in case of a shortage at Christmas, they are for when I get the strange but uncontrollable need make bubble and squeak and haven't got any 'squeak'.

I've not been able to buy loose sprouts at all this year. I bought to prepacked bags in asda on Friday. I never usually but veg like that. I did notice the broccoli had gone up in price, whether that's due to shortage or they think they can charge more for what they think we'll use instead.
I had heard they were going to be in short supply.

We only have sprouts as token veg on Christmas day so we have them there for the bubble and squeak. You can't bubble and squeak if you have no sprouts!

They just make up it. Sainsbury's had no cauliflowers in this morning, same reason spouted (sprouted?) yet, there they were an hour later.

You can always tell him there are none!

I bought some in the supermarket on Thursday, cannot stand the things myself but OH likes them. Wouldn't worry if there weren't any though.
