LOVE them. Par boil, slice in half, pan fry in hot fat until a nice bit of colour and whilst the pan is still very hot, throw some soy sauce in there for a salty, sticky, vegetable heaven.

Sprouts and parsnips, both are yummy and it's amusing to serve them strategically placed on the oldie's plates Christmas Day

Sprouts, always good.

If its not christmas and you have some in, halve them, throw them in a pan flat down with slices of chorizo, tomato, onion, pepper and bacon, serve with warm bread rolls...its the best 15 min comfort food

Unfortunately people just think of boiling the death out of them. At this minute I'm roasting sprouts with smoked bacon lardons in garlic olive oil, at the end I'll pour in creme fraiche to make a sauce.

"There ok. its parsnips that are evil"

Sprouts are little green balls of awsomeness

Especially when accompanied with stuffing and gravy

You can't beat a sprout and stuffing sandwich

But parsnips can't even be described as food

They taste like poison!

I hate them with a vengeance lol. I used to live in Bedfordshire in the early 1970's, the centre of sprout growing in the UK at the time. Obviously none of you sprout lovers have actually had to live next door to a field of sprouts as they are are growing and then picked.........................the stench is mindblowing and just horrendous...................no way would i ever eat one or want to be in the same room as one ever again

According to QI it takes quite a while to cook out all the alcohol.

I did, along with the NFU lol.

Nearly every farm around my house when i was at school grew sprouts, or peas in the summer. Peas were fine, but sprouts just stank like something you would not want to know while they they were growing.

"Bedfordshire was the centre of sprout growing? Who knew!

I did, along with the NFU lol.

Oil seed r*pe (yellow flowers) also stink plus they are full of pollen which bees love. Unfortunately they have sown it fields at the front and back of my house

Fortunately the germination of the seeds at the front has been abysmal!

As for sprouts and parsnips, you need the older varieties that need a frost on them before you get a better taste. Parsnips are still better roasted though! They will taste "strong" wen they`re getting old or have been hanging about too long!

Had to edit this post because there should be a "a" where the * is but that`s what it`s called!
