No sprouts!

Must say I haven't noticed a shortage of them (yet!) we probably only have them about half a dozen times a year anyway, but Christmas dinner wouldn't be the same without them.I cccok them then add them to a frying pan for a few mins with well cooked bits of bacon....very nice.

Hear, hear, dj! There's plenty of cabbage and broccoli in the shops if you want greens, folks.

Even though I am vegetarian and love leeks ansd sprouts, I am sure we will not starve without them over Christmas.

There is/will be a shortage of sprouts according to DD who works for a large veg producing farming company. This is due to a wet October which damaged the bottoms of the stalks.

Leeks are suffering from a fungal disease called 'pink stripe' so they may soon be in short supply as well.

There seem to be plenty of sprouts in shops round here!

And don't forget, there's always the frozen option...
