Steptoad Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Sprouts, the devils danglies. That's why it's traditional to cut a cross shape into the bottom of sprouts. It helps to exorcise the demon in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampent Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Nowt wrong with good old sprouts (which by the way are fine to eat raw). Raw sprouts? That's akin to eating raw bus seats. Smell the same and my lead to bowel dysfunction. I know that sprouts are like marmite. Either love or hate. But, sprouts are just a stupid food item. We have a innate aversion to poisonous foods, no wonder kids hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampent Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Please rampent, tell me were you heard they are poisonous? They are avout as poisonous as cabbage.... I know peeps that eat them and are still alive.... I read a thing off the Radio that said peeps don't like sprouts because of the taste. Us human things are resistant to dodgy tastes > in that eating anything that smells bad we have an aversion for. I would never eat nellys of west streets knickers would you? ---------- Post added 06-12-2013 at 22:40 ---------- He died in October 1805 I think it will be OK now.There is a big monument in London if you want to pay your respects.

Godzilla Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 he story was that boffins have developed a sprout that appeals to children, i.e. slightly less bitter than the traditional sprout. Macho men and strong women will still appreciate the flavour of a 'real' sprout and suffer no ill effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldleaf Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I know, who called them that any way? I've never gone to that Country that make them. I've heard on the internet that if you eat them raw you will end dieing or worse. Apparently some boffins have made a different sprout that is more edible. Crossed with a orange or something. Opines? Apparently they have invented a new sweeter kid friendly version. I will give the new sweeter version a try because I cant stand the normal bitter sprouts we we have today.
