Brussels sprouts

I love sprouts too so is it nonPC to hope that somebody somewhere will import some?
There must have been some rain north of the border. Are there no Scottish sprouts?

I don't think I've ever seen sprouts growing in Scotland. But what an interesting thought! I shall investigate!

My sister grows them in Scotland. But then, she's English so perhaps it's just a cultural thing...

No sprouts? Thank heavens for that! Bleurgh!

Oh dear , I normally put mine on to simmer around about August so they're nicely soggy come Christmas

Some good news at last!

We have a farm near us and they sell sprout sticks. They are lovely and fresh. Not a plastic bag in sight.

If I never saw a sprout again, cooked or raw it would be too soon.

I like buying sprouts on the stem too, Liz. They last longer. I mean one doesn't have to cook or eat them all at once. They keep well on the stick.

To those who don't like sprouts, have you even tried microwaving them until just cooked and then adding some grated cheese and melting that on them. I first tried this with Edam and it was an improvement on the usual over-boiled approach but Comté or Gruyère is aewsomer. ?

Oh bloody hell! Flipping typos.

I have some cabbages growing. Perhaps I could Bonzai them and keep them small .
Hmm I see and entrepreneurial opportunity. I'd need an allotment and some equipment. I could do a 'go fund me' page ..Bonzai sprout investment to overcome a possible sprout drought.

Sprouts need frost don't they?

OMG a shortage of sprouts ? horror ! No way....

I always have at least 2 bags of frozen in the freezer (better than fresh in my opinion) . Me and the DGC love them and we count our “little green pumps” out onto each plate. No one is allowed more than the next person.

Better stock up.

People who grow veg like sprouts have made a colossal investment in irrigation. Water tables are kept high and many farms now have their own reservoirs.

I doubt there will be a shortage of sprouts but they may be more expensive.
