But my pet hate as a child was spinach. How I loathed it, especially after I was forced to eat it by a bullying nurse in hospital when I had my appendix out! I've grown to love it now, especially creamed or cooked with potato and onion.Shirley Corderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429641202607657089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-40624887257402422502016-03-24T16:51:15.942-07:002016-03-24T16:51:15.942-07:00Frozen Brussels sprouts?

They were fabulous! Fresh (not frozen), halved, seasoned with olive oil, garlic and onion powder and sautéed in an iron skillet.

However, recent research has shown that adults gain a liking for brussels as they get older. I used to hate them but love them now. Also you don't have to steam them and serve them plain. My daughter shreds them and uses them in stir-frys.<br /><br />Thanks also, Sandra, for mentioning all those traditional British dishes. We Brits have a bad name in the cookery department (I blame the French!) but, actually, British food, cooked well, is mouth-watering, and British cakes and puddings are legendary.Rosemary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05797123703252258773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-70845602546134908502016-03-22T01:11:43.747-07:002016-03-22T01:11:43.747-07:00I'm another one who can't stand Brussels s...I'm another one who can't stand Brussels sprouts - but I have a son who loves them!

You know, the kind that didn't have the sulfuric acid in them like now. I love them, so I heaped my plate full. My parents really only had one rule at the dinner table--you can have as much of anything as you want, but you have to eat what you take out...<br /><br />Unfortunately, the dried apples turned out to be rutabaga turnips...which I did not like. :-) Patricia Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382033674042021556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-36772970800276962462016-03-21T14:56:38.686-07:002016-03-21T14:56:38.686-07:00I'm glad I'm not alone! :)I'm glad I'm not alone! :)Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-74354098886817558002016-03-21T13:50:05.953-07:002016-03-21T13:50:05.953-07:00Hi Sandra, I think the first time I tried brussel ...Hi Sandra, I think the first time I tried brussel sprouts was at a sleepover at a friend's house when I was about 10. They too were English. I didn't enjoy them at all (too salty) and I don't think i tried them again until I was an adult. They're still not a vegetable that I would choose to eat but if there is a gravy or a sauce that you can soak them into, then I'm a happy camper.Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-59157727037896480132016-03-21T06:05:18.185-07:002016-03-21T06:05:18.185-07:00Just wanted to mention that there is also a Charac...Just wanted to mention that there is also a Character Spotlight of my heroine and the men in her life at Relz Reviews and she's hosting a giveaway of A Fool and His Monet: http://relzreviewz.com/character-spotlight-serena-chases-serena-tanner-nate-with-a-giveaway/Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.com
