Positive on a negative

What a shame most sprouts are British. And if you don't eat your greens, no pudding.

I bought some sprouts today and a small bag cost £2.20.
We like them so that is a big ‘negative’ for me.
The positive is we have some for our Christmas lunch - it wouldn’t be the same without sprouts.
Your GD obviously would disagree 😮

Puzzler61 where in the world are you £2.20 for a small bag of sprouts...

M&S in Worcestershire. I think I must have grabbed a gold quality bag!!
Last year I think I paid about 55 pence 😱

Good girl! Savvy.

We got a whole stick plus top for about £1.50 here. Two for £2!

I won’t waste even 1 - I’ll turn any leftovers into bubble and squeak. I think I was duped 🤔

Bag of sprouts in Aldi today - 14 pence!

I think an extra 20 pence was added as it was an M&S Simply Food at a petrol station for the convenience of it being open long hours.
I’m feeling pretty gullible 🥱

Lucky legs beat me to it. Aldi 14p. Other Christmas veg is also 14p. Having Christmas dinner with my DD , SiL and two DGC, but we have to take our own sprouts as they all hate them!!

I ❤️ sprouts. Had them twice last week just cos.

They could be the chocolate sprouts at that price!

(And very nice they are too)

That’s some price for sprouts I think you were ‘done’ puzzler

We get sprouts from one of our local farm shops. I love them if they’re not overcooked.

I’m thinking so too BlueBelle.
You’ve seen the M&S advert?
“Not just sprouts (enticing music 🎶) - M&S sprouts”

They’d better be tasty 😬

I love sprouts, anytime of the year.

(There are farmers in Lincolnshire pointing out that they have fields of broccoli and cauliflower waiting to be harvested. They are hopeful for orders from supermarkets and shops who cannot get produce from Spain)

Our Leicester Rachel 1 year ago- brilliant positives and that was all before No Deal and Covid

Last year Iceland did marmite sprouts. Did anyone try them?

Sprouts are the work of the devil; cannot abide the look, smell or, heaven forbid, the taste of them. But DIL loves them so a friend gave me 4 of hers today for free! Not worked out yet how to cook the things and keep them at arms length. Bleurgh.

Shredded sprouts and marmite sandwiches is a southern delicacy.

I adore sprouts. Can't have them this year because DH is on a 'no farty foods' diet while he has radiotherapy.

All the greens and pulses which I love will have to wait.

I’m with you on this, food of the devil indeed! My children had to wait until they were adults living alone to taste sprouts as I would not cook them!

35p a bag in Sainsburys
