I think the older you get the more you listen to your parents. I love Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Peas, Carrots, Spinach, Kale, Celery and Cauliflower now. Weird eh.
The thing is, you discover that vegetables don’t need to be boiled to death, and that slightly al dente is very tasty!
I love vegetables...especially sprouts. There is a reason why people are divided about sprouts....it's a genetic thing. Adult humans can be divided into those who find sprouts bitter and those that don't....whereas all children find sprouts too bitter. https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2011/nov/01/brussel-sprout-gene
Just having some cool toast....which is the proper way to have it. All crispy....no melted butter to make it soggy. Cue....argument.
@saintrichie123 Walkers Crisps update: I sent them a question on facebook: FRI 20:16 have you really introduced brussel sprout flavour crisps for Christmas? 10:35 please log in to view this image Hi John thanks for getting in touch, we are indeed! These are starting to make their merry way into stores now with some multipacks following up in the coming weeks so keep your eyes peeled when you’re in your local supermarket. Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.
Cook the Brussels sprouts in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes. (bit less suits our taste) Add the bacon lardons to a non-stick frying pan, and fry over a medium heat until crisp. Add the cream and crushed garlic to a small pan and bring to the boil. Stir the sprouts into the crisp bacon; then stir in the hot cream Recipe at https://www.bbc.com/food/recipes/creamedbrusselssprou_84835
Off to the sausage festival in Burley today ..... turned down a Newcastle ticket as I was already committed to it ..... well ...... snorkers take preference over St Mary’s I guess ......
Growing up, the only veg I didn't like was boiled carrots. I used to plead with my parents to leave raw ones on my plate for Sunday dinner........but they never did. Always boiled. And I always begrudgingly ate them. Now as a parent myself, I go out of my way to encourage my kids to eat veg by giving them only what they enjoy.....and they are still difficult about it. Drives me crackers, if they only knew the hardship of when we grew up with grim over boiled orange horribleness!
I like most food/veg. The only things off the top of my head I can't eat is sprouts, parsnips, swede and anything that comes from the sea. Today is usually the day I actually cook something that takes longer than 10 mins, but I really can't be bothered so might just do a spaghetti bolognaise as it only takes a short time to prepare and I can just leave it to reduce for a couple of hours.
