Oh no! I love sprouts...going to name - drop now but had an Xmas meal at AWT's restaurant near us ( paid for by my boss) & they did creamed sprouts...absolutely heaven! Sorry Mookins ... feeling nauseous?!

honestly they do make me gag
My mum always made me eat them up until my 14th birthday and then she gave me the choice. The years of watching me push them round the plate and smother them in red sauce to cover the taste finally she gave in
yuk yuk yuk yuk yuky

I was thinking along the lines of body parts............. It looks like my dads cauliflowered ear. Lol

Hay Mookins if your still here, Carol says Thank you :~))

I've never tasted a marrow althought I did win first prize in a show with one once when I was a teenager. My mother made something out of it but I wouldn't eat it lol.

OK: Sprouts - Hated them for years until I learned to cook them properly and not "launder" them for hours. Pop into boiling water for about 5 minutes, drain off, put the lid back on the saucepan and leave until 5 minutes before serving up. Melt butter in a small frying pan, add sprouts, shake around for 2 minutes then add chopped chestnuts. Delish!!!!!!!
Green beans and tomatoes - Fry a chopped clove of garlic in olive oil, add chopped tomatoes and cook until reduced. Meanwhile add chopped runner or French beans to a pan of boiling water and cook until tender. Drain, then combine with the tomato/garlic mix. Makes a lunch dish all on its own. Chopped bacon or ham can be added. Or sprinkle with grated cheese and grill.

Veggies are friends - enjoy! (That's "friends" NOt "fiends!")

your welcome Carol

Sprouts are Carols FAVOURITE veg of all time, ever ever :~))))

oooh dont
just the thought makes me queasy

how could you Carol

hehehe

We've just recieved some seeds for purple sprouts ! ! ! :~))

I had the same problems - my boys love sprouts (did I bring them up wrong!!!) and when their friends came over they all said the same thing "yuk sprouts we hate them" but I said just taste mine and cos they saw my boys eating them tried them! I do not over cook them 5-6 mins in boiling water (not forgetting the cross on the bottom! - something my mum and nan used to do!) and thats it - they are still slightly crunchy and still "green" not yellow and mushy (my ex mother in law used to pressure cook hers - no dont get me started!!) and they then dont have that sulpher taste that makes people dislike them!!
They boys call broccolli "baby trees" and sprouts of course became "baby cabbages" (they like cabbage too!!)The only thing we dont eat in our house is celery also!!

mmm celery is lovely
dipped in salad cream or on its own
I like it cooked too

yumyum

xx

Nooooooo!!! That's so yuk...celery has a horrid taste...& celeriac! Mookins...you can have my share always!!!

thanks hun
I love how people are so different

I had so many problems when I went veggie (for 3 years mind!) because I'm allergic to tomatoes, HATE onions & will only eat raw turnip,the smell when it's cooked is vile! as for sprouts, bleurrrrgh! And green beans are "punishment" food in our family!

nooooo
green beans are heaven
I eat cucumber when I have trapped wind!!

sorry I know its rude but blimey Im windy both ends after eating it

:o)

x xx

Nu'uh! I like broad beans & haricot beans, but green beans make me gag! My dad literally used to make me eat them as a punishment, & if my stepmum forgets & puts them on the plate, I yell "What've I done now?" :~}

aaah bless ya
Cody has real trouble with veg, she checks each bit of her food before it goes in her mouth in case a bit is on it
(ive tried mixing it in with potatoes and all sorts and she cottoned on

if it was all pink she would probably eat it!!

x x x

So liquidise it & dye it pink! Beetroot would work!

thats not a bad idea!!

was thinking of dying but only thought of food colouring and I would rather she wasnt bouncing off the walls

will give it a try
cheers hun

x x x

Just boil some beetroot in water & use the juice. you could liquidise the beetroot too. But dont use the stuff in jars! All that vinegar, yuk!

My daughter Kayleigh ate all veg as a toddler...despised all veg as a young girl & now at 21 is cooking & eating cauliflower,runner beans,onions,tomatoes,lettuce,cucumber,sweetcorn,peas,courgette,sweet potato etc tho' she draws the line at root veg for some reason. I don't know how old Cody is but maybe she'll come round when she's older!

I could eat runner beans in any way...with butter,gravy,whatever & most other veg too but I can't stand celery as I said & I'm not too keen on turnips. Kayleigh's Scottish friend used to get in the back of the car when we picked her up to go somewhere, munching on a piece of raw 'neap'...as she called swede or turnip...Kayleigh was horrified!!
I used to liquidise veg & stir into spag bol sauce or cottage pie & she was none the wiser. However I do appreciate they have a sharp veggie radar if they think you are trying to dupe them!!

I love raw neeps, & used to go to the field, pick one, wash it in the burn (stream) I eat it! But i HATE it cooked!

will def try these techniques, shes 3 in october and can see a miniscule a mile off.
will perservere as you do

x x x

Holly was the same, she wouldn't touch her plate if it had any kind of veg (except mash) but now she will eat what she has grown herself, but not any that I planted. :~((

ive tried the veg that cody grew but she informed carrots are for rabbits and mummys!!

hehe gotta luv em

You get arrested for beating them Lol :~))

oooh Ian
tut tut
