Re: Pure Evil

Ugh - evil little things sprouts are. They are one of the few foodstuffs that if I try (and I have done) to eat them, I actually feel physcially sick trying to swallow them. I take that as my body's natural defences against an evil little food group

Anyone see the Vicar of Dibley when Geraldine had the sprout eating competition with David (after she'd already had to eat 3 Christmas dinners in one day?) Now that was funny

Re: Pure Evil

Yes that was very funny, don't seem to make comedies like that any more. Loved the easter episode too

Re: Pure Evil

Don't like them either! I agree with b-v, they are a foodstuff that my stomach repels too.

Watched a prog the other night about these comedy bits and it showed the actors playing David and Hugo (VofD) having to eat a massive bowl of sprouts.

Re: Pure Evil

I love them steamed not boiled and still with a bit of bite . I think so many people cook the life out of the poor things.

They are also nice shredded and rapidly cooked in a knob of butter and couple of tablespoons of boiling water until the water evaporates then add black pepper.
