Breaking, as Rory says.

Biggest drama here since the election.

Now that's a travesty. The poor lil sprouts.

 

[FataMorgana]

I love a sprout. Much maligned little buggers.

 

[adrina]

Oven roasted, pan roasted with bacon grease, steamed... good eats.

And good for bones.

Preach it.


Lance likes to hold one and pretend it's a cabbage so he looks like a normal sized man.

Thats what you get for having those crazy roundabouts!

I for one shall feast on my carefully caramelized half globes of green goodness along with my roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

You've just given me a PTSD flashback to the time I asked for gravy in a Glasgow chippy. That was a dark day for me.

 

[raindancer]

Mmmmm. Gimme the sprouts. I attempted the grow my own this year. Failed.

Marks & Spencer offer half-a-tonne of Brussels sprouts for just 40p in pricing blunder

strong winds forecast?

 

[FataMorgana]

Brusselgate. Fucking Brexit.

Brusselgate. Fucking Brexit.

Fanny would not be pleased.

Can't they just be picked up and rinsed off?

What? This isn't the potato famine, you savage, where every particle of food is precious.

Oh, wait, don't Brussels sprouts grow up and out of dirt? Yeah, just wash them off, what's the problem?

Some of us are still affected by that you insensitive cunt.

Holy, shit, how old are you?

 

[FataMorgana]

Holy, shit, how old are you?

Never you mind. The blight is no laughing matter, sonny.

 

[FataMorgana]

In this case, I used the blight to add a laughter to the Great Brussels Sprout Spillage of 2019.

I would never laugh at the actually Potato Famine .... unless someone said something funny about it, then I'd have to laugh.

I'm half Irish, spuds are a deity. It's ok to laugh at proddy sprouts though.

 

[FataMorgana]

Ooh potato porn!

They say it takes a year or so depending. I've tried too, with no luck. Same with garlic, I just think I'm planting it wrong. Plus, in October, who thinks about planting shit?

Other than Floridians with pineapples...

 

[Fart_knocker]

I fucking love those things.

My kids call them green brains.

 

[spacekowboy]

Nuke them all from orbit. It's the only to be sure.

Don't it's the only green I eat .

I keep hoping they will pop up after I forget about it.
I forgot about sweet potatoes and they reminded me the next year.
