Eat yer greens!

I reckon so but I haven't done a scientific study.

We should. One of the ways I lose money is growing organic veg. Theory would dictate that with a massive gash at one end of the sprout, moisture would be lost.

I smash up the stalks with a lump hammer and compost them.

It's been a while since I bought sprouts on a stalk, but generally, if you buy the unpeeled ones (either loose or bagged) then they'll keep for a good couple of weeks - as long as you don't peel / wash them.

Fair play, and feeding the sheep is cool too, but how many are land filled rather than ploughed back in, I wonder?

Loads. I stayed in a barn in Pembrokeshire and found dozens of sheep skeletons in the slurry pit. Ploughing them in would be expensive on the machinery.

My missus has just got a great looking recipe for roast sprouts and chestnuts. It looks very good - we'll be trying it next week.

Share pleaze!

I had sprout bhajis in Bundobust the other day (much to the beer thread's disgust)

Sheep. You meant sheep right? The ruination of plough discs the daft buggers.

Not at all. Love Bundobust - my favourite restaurant at the moment. I'd totally eat sprout bhajis

She read it in a magazine before Christmas. She said it was really simple - basically par boil the sprouts & chestnuts put in a tray and add diced bacon. Season and whack in oven for half an hour.
