Sounds like a wild night.

My personal view is that you have to go to so much effort to make them edible... maybe we are all trying too hard and should stick to better vegetables. Last year I did something with pancetta and chestnuts to make the sprouts taste OK, and even then that is all they are. Give me some extra roast parsnips instead.

This should really be in the excellent sprouts thread, but my approach to all green vegetables is to excite them with ground pepper and malt vinegar. I learned that at my granny's knee and it has served me well all my culinary life!

What were the vegetables doing around your granny's knee?
