Sprouts

You either lov em or hate um.

Six weeks to Christmas. Maybe this week start thinking about putting the sprouts on?

Thanks for the reminder, Lolly. I love em!

I’ve been meaning to get some since NM mentioned seeing them weeks ago in Hindley! Will do this weekend! Hope they’re not too dear!

I got a sprout stick 3 weeks ago £1.60 if I Can remember correctly,the last lot will be eaten tonight

A stick seems great value, NM, I’ll look into that.

Yes, I clean the end up after first pickings then saw the stalk down a little bit and put the stick in a vase with sugary water and the smaller ones grow a little and the stick can last up to 3/4 weeks depending how many you eat, but if you eat them every day buying loose ones is cheaper

A saw, NM?! Sadly I broke our last one in a culinary emergency - I hadn’t put the Chr*stmas dinner sprouts on soon enough.

Evil mini cabbages of death!

Aka Fart Nukes.

It's a nope from me!

You should try them curried

The stalk is extremely tough

You could leave them intact & when the sprouts have all gone make your own jingle bells, NM.

You've given me an idea, if I let 3 sticks dry out I can make a milking stool

If you’ve got a cow, NM, I hope you’ll treat them to some sprouts this Chr*stmas as well, NM.

This Aussie farmer has found cattle love them!

I've seen sheep and goats chewing the stalks in the fields in Norfolk

They must have strong teeth then, NM! Stronger than the ones on my last saw at any rate.  

I can’t see that, NM, but I’m guessing it’s a mini electric saw?

Thanks, but I’m thinking sticking with loose sprouts might be safest for me.

Its a mini hand held chain saw
