I wish someone would send me some sprouts, I've searched high and low today
and returned empty handed. Xmas dinner just isn't the same without them

Had a big telling off earlier by her... She bought sprouts on the stem, apparently it helps keep them fresher for Xmas day, I didn't know so I sat down and picked them all off..... well the stem was too long to fit in the fridge....

made me laugh, so trying to cut the stem in half didn't come into consideration?

Nothing worse than a smart arse..... You are talking to a man that once searched the kitchen trying to find a pan long enough to cook spaghetti.....and gave up and resorted to breaking it in half......

They'll be on the shelves in June/July, you need frost/cold weather to get good sprouts!! 1st Christmas (5 years ago) we were here, we found some frozen ones in New World, never seen any since.
Best to buy them & freeze them in the Winter.
