Not politics, but the little green kind.
I love them, i've just peeled some for tea, i couldn't resist eating some & so i thought i'd ask who likes them. Do you love them or do you hate them. Please vote just for a laugh ;) |

They're like small, green gonads!

What's the point of boiling this rank little green ball for hours and then all it give you a foul taste in the mouth and tons of wind,but hang about isn't that what the other Brussels does to us as well.

Ahh. It's nearly that time of year again. Mrs. KW doesn't like them so I normally only get them at Christmas. A time when I eat as many as I can get my hands on and bu66er the consequences. ;D

Title: Re: Brussels Post by Holy Count on 20. Nov 2009 at 15:52
Generallly Hate 'em -- but eat them at Christmas -- TBH if they are cooked well they aren't really that bad -- they just bring back images of being force fed them as a child. My dad used to cook when he was home on leave and his cabbage could be made into shoes, whilst the brussels just slopped onto the plate ... Yuuuckk

OK then... Without the aid of search engines, which UK Town/City consumes more Brussel Sprouts per head, on average, than any other throughout the year?
Answers on a postcard... No Prize, just for for giggles :y :y |

Title: Re: Brussels Post by mars on 20. Nov 2009 at 21:22
I hate them; they are like little bad cabbages. The couple of times I have eaten a couple I have tasted them again with every burp over the next 7-10 days!

Too wet and dark to supply the porn - but there are 9 out there with lots of green balled goodness.
