All this came about because I tried to buy some in the shop yesterday. And the lady said they didn't stock them because no-one grows them locally. "Tiny plants don't do well when they are trucked 3,000 kilometres," she said. Time to start making my own tiny plants :-)

I love them too. But I always forget to buy them, so I'm experiencing Sproutade (see here).

I certainly can see a pattern developing here.

I love 'em. Perhaps there's some genetic link between logophilia and sproutitude.

What? I like brussels sprouts too. Clearly, they need a new survey.

Well a lot has happened since 2002....

"According to a survey in 2002, Brussels sprouts are Britain's most hated vegetable." - Wikipedia.

SoG, you are a special person.

I love brussels sprouts, but I usually only get to eat them at Christmas.
