Gandalph Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 ..Whack hereI like sprouts actually, I could eat a full plate of them. They have to be crisp for me though, eight minutes cooking only when they come to the boil. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I like sprouts as well.Lightly cooked, added to crisply fried bacon pieces and shaken in the fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchful Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I love sprouts, as said, 'al dente' just with butter and I love cabbage, especially Savoy, the same firmness with strips of cooked ham. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 PS. My dog has never seen a sprout, let alone eaten one as he's only 5 months old, but he can f**t for Gt. Britain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have not had them since I was a kid............but they sure were great with a dash of salt. We called them Brussel Sprouts. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 When I hear sprouts, I think soy bean sprouts - which I hate. Brussels sprouts I love, but they must be well cooked, with lots of molten butter and thin slices of crispy fried bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Soy bean sprouts - YUK!! The taste of anything connected with soy beans, except soy sauce, reminds me that it may have been produced by BP or Shell with the strange oily taste.I quite like mung bean sprouts though.Do you get Brussels sprouts in Japan, Pat? Don't know why but they seem very non-oriental to me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artist Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I love them too but well cooked with chestnuts or bacon. Saw a recipe recently for a 'different' bubble and squeak made with sprouts. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The taste of anything connected with soy beans, except soy sauce, reminds me that it may have been produced by BP or Shell with the strange oily taste.There are a few very good things made from soy beans; Japanese freshly made tofu, for example. Quite different from Chinese tofu, it is slightly sweet, silky and soft, and can be consumed without any additional cooking or ingredients, except perhaps a little freshly ground wasabi and/or rock salt.Do you get Brussels sprouts in Japan, Pat? Don't know why but they seem very non-oriental to me :)There are a few supermarkets that carry "exotic" vegetables and fruits, but you can imagine that these things are slightly expensive...

-pops- Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Even Japanese tofu (well, the stuff you can get in my local Japanese restaurant) has, to me, that oily taste which I dislike. Perhaps wasabi would be a good addition to hide the oiliness. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I only scored 170, but have only had one go. I love sprouts, but they need steaming, NOT boiling in water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
