Brussel Sprouts


In case you were wondering about what season brussel sprouts grew in - here is how they are being offered in the supermarket. I hadn't realised they grew like this!
Another realisation (after volunteering to take a veggie dish to a party, and then having to do a desparate google for ideas, and then doing the weekly grocery shop that night) a lot of the traditional Thanksgiving/Christmas dishes that come up on American websites - those ingredients are available in supermarkets at the same time!!! like, sour cherries, or lots of brussel sprouts, or fresh cranberries!! Who would have thought! So, those recipes that send us panicking into the outer reaches of shopping trying to find obscure ingredients, or worse still, having to do some huge substitution - they're EASY here...Unlike traditional British Christmas recipes like fruit mince with candied citrus peel...
