Anyone from the UK?

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.

They’re available year-round at Toby!

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!

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. :D

Never tried the dipped in chocolate. Perhaps this year!
 
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!

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... :sick:
