Sprouts, lightly steamed, then fried in butter, pancetta and Riesling and seasoned - lovely! Still fart like a trooper but at least they smell Christmassy.

So this lorry full of tortoises collided with a van full of terrapins. It was a turtle disaster.

Sprouts, steamed, then pureed with butter, creme fraiche, salt and pepper.

mmmmm

Other than that way, bleedin' 'orrible things.

No they don't. I've had them properly cooked and while OK, they are still "OK" rather than nice. The only way I know to make them nice is frying in butter with bacon but that proves nothing.

Ugh.

Makes my hotdog, fried onion, cheese food slice, ketchup and american mustard club sandwich sound even better almost edible (if you have no gag reflex).

Ugh, sprouts. I've a very wide palate and I'll eat them but I cannot see why people actively like them and would choose them over other green veg like broccoli/cabbage/etc.

Sounds tasty but.........

• Pork
• Sprouts
• Sweetcorn

too true.

Tonight Dinner will be washed down with a pint of homebrew, at least the bed will be warm!

Putting sprouts and sweetcorn into a baby as well. That's asking for trouble.

1) Bloke serving in canteen really needed to blow his nose. He dishes out my food and then stands there prattling on about the weather still holding my plate thus maximising the opportunity for that dried, encrusted object dangling from his nose to drop into my cannelloni.

Extra protein! I hope you paid the extra 10p for that.

freshly cooked pork chop, Brussels, butternut squash & baby sweetcorn.

Cooked in the kitchen and shared with my 7 month old (except the pork chop) , my little un likes Brussell sprouts!

All washed down with a mug of tea.

yummy!

Had my graze box for lunch (and 2 punnets of the graze breakfast porridge for breakfast) - currently trying to limit myself to 1900 calories a day so will not be snacking etc.

Am fine now but suspect I will be hungry before dinner time again :-(

Well, they say bad things come in threes:

1) Bloke serving in canteen really needed to blow his nose. He dishes out my food and then stands there prattling on about the weather still holding my plate thus maximising the opportunity for that dried, encrusted object dangling from his nose to drop into my cannelloni.

2) Enormous queue at the till and nobody has cash so they're all paying with plastic for the most trivial item. No, they're not contactless cards. My food is now cold.

3) Silly sod on the till neglects to give me the receipt I've requested before he realises he's started to ring through the next transaction by which time it's too late.


Completely ruined though, to be fair, event no. 1 would have done it on its own.

#1 is uncalled for - no wonder you've been feeling ill
