LOL - if the River Cottage christmas special is being repeated then have a look at that - sprout fritters and "Sproutsa Verde" were two of the options. How about shredding them finely for a stir fry, or cutting into quarters, cook lightly with chestnuts and a knob of butter at the end......I'm not keen on sprouts as sprouts but will happily eat them once tarted up a bit!

Christmas is suppose to be season of peace and love, being nice to each other , then why wherever you go why do they serve sprouts ?

Afternoon all,

In my local Asda last night they were selling off bags of sprouts yellow stickered for 1p. I bought 4, thinking one for this week's meals and then I could blanch and freeze the rest.

Do you think they'd last frozen until Christmas dinner, or will I need to eat them before?

Thanks,

Bibs

I would think they'd be fine, after all, Christmas is only a month away :eek:
