Subject: RE: BS: Sprout shortage
Chop 'em up to look like roast spuds & mix 'em up.    But beware - parsnips cook more quickly.

My soon-to-be-ex-stepson (work that one out) loves Brussels sprouts and always has done. When asked what he wanted to eat at his fifth birthday party (12 years ago) - guess what he asked for.

I saw a 'Brussels sprout tree' on sale in Sainsbury's the other day, wrapped in polythene and, no doubt, grossly overpriced. Presumably someone must buy them? In fact, I may get one, stand it in the corner and hang tinsel on it!
