Poll: The Brussel Sprout

[pepp77]

Oldest joke in the world.

Whats the difference between a Brussel sprout and a bogey?

One you can't get kids to eat and one you can't stop them eating!

One you can't get kids to eat and one you can't stop them eating!

Along those lines yes. My answer would have been "You can get a kid to eat a bogey" but yours is fine as well.

The only thing worse than my farts after sprouts are the stereo farts my two German Shepherds do after they've had the leftovers!

Dog farts are the worst.

I always chuckle when I think of about 10 years ago. I was on the tube on the way home from a night out. Someone on the train had done the dirtiest veggy fart and was stinking out the train. When the train stopped, two very respectable older gentlemen in three piece suit, hat with umbrella got on the train. One of them stopped, took a big sniff and said to his mate "Mmm, smells like christmas" I tell you, everyone on the train rolled up. Talk about releasing the tension.

Nope never, they are the testes of satan.

Just look at them! They are the testicles of Beelzebub! Monstrous concoctions from the beginning of time! There should be a prison sentence after serving them on a public plate.

I could eat sprouts every day. Delicious.

 

[Akagi]

Love them nice and soft with lots of gravy, mmmmm.

Undercooked sprouts are the devils work.

 

[McBain]

Sprouts are awesome.

I'm not fond of soggy sprouts, crunchy sprouts that aren't overcooked are rather nice. Never cared much for cabbage too strong tasting as a kid but I like it now. Kale is really bitter apparently.

I love them.

No idea why anyone hates them.

Some people are more sensitive to bitterants, its genetic apparently. They literally cannot stomach them the reaction is so strong.

Excellent veg!

Boil for about 15 mins so springy but not soggy.

Frozen variety best avoided though.

And the after effects - glorious to behold (especially at bathtime).

Have you tried 5.1 surround with the family?

They are all the bitterness, pain, disillusionment and sorrow of the world distilled into an evil green ball; the roots of the plant go deep into the earth and suck and feed on all that is bad with the world and stores it in the heart of the pustulous carbunkles that fools then eat and take that darkness into themselves.

They are that evil not even the Sith Darth's dare eat them........

Stop eating sprouts and the world can finally achieve peace

Gotta cook them with some strong flavours. Part boil them and then fry in butter with crispy bacon, walnuts and some mustard powder. Delicious
