Don't Forget The Sprouts!
« on: December 24, 2009, 10:42 »
Just a reminder to those of you who follow traditional methods of cooking Christmas dinner that you'll need to start boiling the sprouts by noon today if they're going to be ready in time for tomorrow.

There's nothing worse than overcooked veg.  I like mine crunchy!  :)

I love raw carrots, although cooking them improves their nutritional value.  It's something about freeing up a chemical which would otherwise be locked in, but don't ask me to explain the science.  I love rabbit too.  In fact, most things that are either animal or vegetable in my neck of the woods have a chance of ending up on my chopping board.  Except doggies (of course) and red cabbage.  Broad beans get a reprieve too because I have an intolerance to them.

Me too on the beans, Gill, faintly ironic really. What have you got against red cabbage?

There won't be any sprouts on my plate!  I hate the things with a vengeance.  I like my veg steamed or microwaved so they retain as much flavour and goodness as possible.  Parnip must be roasted of course!   :D
