Anyone from the UK?

Oh, absolutely. I don't doubt that @Spanky1372 's sausage is too much for me on my own. Eyes bigger than my belly.

We mustn't over-stuff ourselves

Gorgeous sausage rolls. Roll on Christmas!!

Enjoy them.

Ah the season of Pigs in Blankets

Love my pigs in blankets. If the bacon is crispy.

Why do they only get an outing once a year? Like sprouts. But we know why sprouts don’t, they are mostly evil (yeah yeah I know roast them in bacon and garlic and they are nice, but everything is nice in bacon and garlic)

Personally, I like them in small doses. Straight up boiled, but they're like broccoli where they are far better when still firm and not soggy (is anything good soggy, haha!). When I can, I buy them on the stalk too.

There is a genetic aspect to this. People with a certain form of TAS2R38 (aka the PTC) gene will perceive sprouts and other brassicas as tasting bitter.

Personally I love sprouts, especially dipped in chocolate!

Can't beat a Toby, especially when they're doing vouchers

I thought they'd engineered them to be less bitter in general, haha! I have that thing where coriander tastes like soap. It confused me for a long time as to why others love it. Weirdos.

Never tried the dipped in chocolate. Perhaps this year!

*sniff* you were so perfect until then… I knew in my heart of heart after the full frontal Friday pic there must be some deep dark secret behind the beauty… and now we know it, an unfettered love of the tiny cabbages that are the work of the devil I tell you

 

[ReallyRandyReader]

Once again, I consider dipping stuff in chocolate to make it edible to be cheating!

No ones ever had to dip a Pig in a Blanket in chocolate to…. (disappears to the kitchen with a pack of chipolatas, bacon and Cadbury’s Swirl)

anything dipped in chocolate becomes instantly edible

we discovered the chocolate thing one year at my sister’s for Christmas, by accident. She had a chocolate fountain, all the rage at the time, and we’d run out of strawberries!

geez... imagine the disappointment of biting into a chocolate strawberry at christmas and finding out it was a sprout!

It’s like putting a toaster in a PS5 box, wrapping it up and putting it under the tree

Uhm. Many years ago, when I used to drink properly, I was with friends and we had a chocolate fountain. We'd ran out of fruit and so one drunken friend thought that maybe a sausage (cooked) could work... No. It didn't.

Not ANYTHING becomes edible...

I so thought the drunk friend was going for some other form of sausage. This story was much worse in my head till I read it properly

Wrap them in Ferro Rocher and put them back in the box.

I will believe it and not put it to the test!

Do you drink improperly now?

Potentially resulting in both an aborted fellatio and an appearance on the Local A&E’s most amusing burns of the year list.

 

[orangecurious]

all this talk of sprouts... must be holly bush time

I don’t think I’d appreciated chocolate fountains are hot. I’m getting it now that I think about the properties of chocolate. I’m not of a scientific background, that may show from time to time,

Ok, I want to say some clever about drinking from the other side of the glass or something, but the words won't line up. So, I'll just confess that if I drink, it's nowhere near as much. That to me is improper. To be tipsy after 2-3 drinks is shockingly improper.
