And please intoduce your New York friends to Bubble and Squeak.<br /><br />Hi Irishlassie - parmesan and lemon is a lovely way to take Sprouts on a Mediterranean holiday!<br /><br />Hi Petoskystone - roast Sprouts - excellent!<br /><br />Hi Veg Heaven - your dipping your toe in gingerly I see! Yes thinly sliced and stir fried transforms them - a good way for the suspicious!!<br /><br />Hi Penny - my Mum too admits to not being a Sprout lover - but the school cookery experience may have a lot to do with it!!!<br /><br />Hi Elizabethm - please try one of the lovely suggestions, maybe a stir fry for starters?<br /><br />Hi Rhiannon - Hurray, another Sprout fan! That recipe sounds very special indeed!<br /><br />Hi Allot of Veg - well done for growing your own!<br /><br />Hi Jeanne - another lovely suggestion! Bacon and Leeks with Sprouts - mmmmmmm!<br /><br />Hi there Pickle and Preserve - another stir fry and more almonds. I think this is the one for those who have avoided Sprouts before!<br /><br />Hi Z - there you go, your daughter-in-law's family aren't alone! I wonder where the vinegar thing comes from - I must investigate further.<br /><br />Hi Jacqui - Oh dear! a dissenter :-( Try some shredded sprouts stir fried with lemon and almonds, or with pepper, nutmeg and cream - I think we can convert you...<br /><br />Whew! What a great response!<br />Let's hope we inspire more Sprout-sceptics to try again and to let Sprouts back into their lives ;-)<br />Celia<br />xCelia Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776686088752602321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-47425927496554797382009-12-03T23:13:29.506+00:002009-12-03T23:13:29.506+00:00blaahhh!!

Maybe your home grown ones would be nice, and since you seem to be an excellent cook you probably know how to do them justice, but I'm not a fan of the sprout. Growing up with a single parent who worked night shifts and knew how to operate a Crock Pot (slow cooker) I can't get past the gray, sour, little vomit balls of my childhood. As an adult I eat them when I must but it's not something I relish. Those memories are etched too deep I'm afraid!Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467803584504473036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-66781394981588761002009-12-03T22:07:46.374+00:002009-12-03T22:07:46.374+00:00My daughter-in-law puts vinegar on sprouts and say...My daughter-in-law puts vinegar on sprouts and says all her family do.

As a child I would rebel hugely about eating the token sprout on my plate, and was very put out when I discovered, relatively recently, that my mother has never liked them!
