Won't last long on the front porch here, so the back garden will have to do.

May be too late to get now unless you have access to a specialty cheese shop, but recommend some Y-fenni. Welsh cheddar made with real ale and mustard seeds. More-ish.

Drive carefully Dave. Take the racing line, they appreciate that.
 
Just back from shopping hell. Chesterfield town centre appears to be one of the lower levels of hell Dante experienced on his way back from meadowhall shopping centre

My fiat 126 struggled with the rain but as DT advised safer to take the racing line
 
I'm a traditional boiled/steamed Brussels sprouts kind of guy. With so many other additional flavours available at the Christmas dinner table (stuffing, bread sauce, gravy, cranberry sauce etc.), I do not believe it is necessary to tart up the sprouts with all kinds of additional exotic fare. Yes, I've often often found myself at other peoples' Christmas catered.dinners where some of the afore mentioned more exotic sprouts recipes are employed with use of pecans, bacon and Parmesan etc. when I wish I just had the simple, plain Jane, article on the table. If that was good enough for my Mother (a fine cook/chef) all those years ago ago, it is good enough for me today. My favourite, you either love them or hate them, Brussels sprouts story relates to the Scottish lady, with red rimmed glasses, who used to serve them at our primary school dinners, and speaking in a thick accent would say, "Sprouts dear, would you like some nice sprouts".

I have sprouts quite a lot. Just halve them, bit of oil and whatever seasoning is lying around and whack in the oven. Nutritious and cheap and I’ll always end up wasting other greens.

Yes, they seem to last forever, just have to peel off the outer layers, the gift that keeps on giving. In my opinion Sprouts are an essential veg with any type of poultry or game bird (turkey, chicken, duck, goose, pheasant etc).
