Christmas Day food

[TonyM]

We had a discussion at work today about Brussels Sprouts which are traditionally part of Christmas dinner / lunch. Seems mostly hated by everybody although a few of us really like them including me.

Do you have those in the US? Like wee cabbages. They need to be cooked properly though and not boiled to death like so many veggies here in the UK, for the non vegetarians boiled, lightly finished in butter with lardons to bring out the flavour.

So, love them or hate them or have you never tried them?

Love all those too. Sprouts traditional at Christmas here and usually never cooked other than at Christmas, I'd eat them all year round

I steam veggies too, keeps the colour and flavour and that bite that veg should have. Corn though? Just no

nah, corn has to be grilled.....soak in the husk for 30 minutes or so and throw on the grill,... water in the husk cooks it to perfection.
