Default Brussels Sprouts

If you want to have a real food "experience", try the tinned ones. They
are soggy, bitter and anemic looking. I can't imagine anyone buys them
a second time

My crop of sprouts is about the only real success in the garden this
year, have frozen some and and will eat the rest, picking from the plant
as long as they last. With the hard winter we had last year, I managed
through till Feb .
