Aha!

So that explains the rather 'strange' smell we get in New Hampshire when there's a Northerly wind blowing

Wow! That's got to be right up there with a deluxe bean burrito.....

There will come a day, albeit a sad day, when tonbob's inner workings will rebel and all this curry eating will become hell to him. Heartburn, reflux, stomach pain that lasts for days, bowels that refuse to work normally. It will come to him...oh yes, it will come

and I can send him a recipe for my veg pakora!!!!!

Burn1911

tonrob

Or sprout burrito... Never mind... you'll catch on in a bit...

tonrob

Those are some of the benefits...

ages ago i had a recipe for sprouts stir fried with water chestnuts shallots and hoi sin sauce

i dont suppose anyone has a copy do they?
my US other half wont even eat parsnips - i am not sure a soggy sprout is going to be his thing

tonrob

Why not just stir fry sprouts with water chestnuts and then add hoi sin sauce? Not sure a recipe is needed for that.

I have not eaten a soggy sprout since my grandmother used to cook Christmas dinner in the 1980s. Steam, stir-fry, roast - just never boil (unless you're careful and then using the cooking water for the gravy!). And never, ever use frozen sprouts (unless you're a complete sprout addict who needs a fix at 9pm on a Sunday night).

Aaargh, second rule of Sprout Club -- no soggy sprouts!

Weeze

I reject your spouty rules. Frozen sprouts are essential for those of us that are lazy. All that peeling, little girly crosses.......urgh.

tonrob

No-one does crosses.

Frozen sprouts do make good ice cubes for Bloody Marys and the like.

Weeze

My Nanna did. And my mother in law still does. I can't cope with such rules!

Nutmegger

The only rule is "don't turn them into a revolting soggy mess by boiling until you're sure they're dead"!
