27 May 09 - 08:16 PM (#2642343) Subject: RE: BS: Snouts in the Trough From: Q (Frank Staplin) Baby brussel sprouts cooked with white pepper, thyme and butter until the water is nigh about evaporated, is good company for lamb or very young pig. Always served at Xmas dinner to please an English friend. Not the subject of this thread, you say? |

27 May 09 - 11:20 PM (#2642419) Subject: RE: BS: Snouts in the Trough From: CarolC Brussels sprouts should only be steamed, never boiled. |

28 May 09 - 12:53 AM (#2642448) Subject: RE: BS: Snouts in the Trough From: Q (Frank Staplin) Carol C, true for most other vegetables as well (or woked) but I have found my method yields tender b. s. with a touch of butter-thyme-pepper coating. The water should be just enough to cook them with only a bit of sauce left, no water to pour off. (Has to be watched closely). |

Plus cooked chestnuts. They should only be bought on the stalk, and never cooked from frozen, OR eaten at grandma's house (they should instead be fed secretly to the dog, to punish grandma later when you've all gone home). |

28 May 09 - 02:25 PM (#2642936) Subject: RE: BS: Snouts in the Trough From: Les in Chorlton Far too much interest being shown in troughs - and that's how it starts. Spleen will want a second seat in the Beech with a Moat and a Duck Island next! L in C I was going to say - Snout in the Timothy Taylor Landlord - but you can see how these things can be so easily misunderstood. |

28 May 09 - 03:50 PM (#2642991) Subject: RE: BS: Snouts in the Trough From: Spleen Cringe I think the landlady would beat me to a pulp if I got my snout anywhere near... No! Enough said already! I think a moat would be good. Maybe we could have the staff divert the Mersey. Dave might have something to say about that though... Some of the stranger claims have been for manure, cat food, jellied eels, ginger nuts and an edible Father Christmas. Just imagine the sort of pagan celebratory remnants we could reinvigorate at the Beech with a set of props like those... The mind flickers. |

29 May 09 - 05:52 AM (#2643474) Subject: RE: BS: Snouts in the Trough From: GREEN WELLIES SHE'S GONE - or going at least. We cant grow sprouts because we have sandy soil and if when the plants are tall they rock about in the wind the little sproutie things do not develope on the stem/trunk. Well that's what he told me, but he doesnt like sprouts so it could just be a lie. Anyone like to be an MP for Bromsgrove, there's going to be a vacancy soon ???? |
