I hear Donald Trump likes sprouts.  

I like mushrooms, they grow well in what DT sprouts.

Husband has heard radio ads for the Lidl cheap veg. He's refusing to go anywhere near Lidl, to avoid the rugby scrum. He had a day off today and went to a farm shop near Canterbury. Said it was heaving with people.

Went to Aldi this morning and actually slightly quieter than normal!

Mnoee

Mine arrived yesterday morning and are already mostly eaten! I did a mountain of roast parsnip, carrots, turnips and potatoes yesterday that we've now demolished. There's still over a kilo of potatoes and half a bag of carrots left, I'll be making some mash tomorrow. Where we don't host Christmas I have to make the most of the cheap veg in the run-up. 

Last year I made a LOT of soup, but decided against it this year. I was still getting through it in March and got a bit sick of the same exact flavour - where I don't use recipes I'll make say a spicy carrot soup a few times a year, but they'll be a bit different every time. For the sake of saving maybe £1 total, I'm just not bothering!

We went at 0805 to our local Aldi and very quiet.
