The way you say that makes it more sound like snacks than a proper meal.

We've had a very emotional day with too many presents. We're just about to have dinner (hog roast with sweet potato fries and sprouts) ^_^

[littl3chocobo]

the way i ate it was more like snacks XD left all the veg in the pot took no broth

[littl3chocobo]

what sort of sprouts?

[Awen Moonshine]

Brussel sprouts ^_^ I love them but my partner hates them XD

[littl3chocobo]

have they had them cored and roasted? those are usually a win even with the anti-brussels crowd XD

[Awen Moonshine]

I don't think he has. I'll have to give that a try. ^_^

[Monorea]

what do you mean cored?
and i usually light boil the brussel sprouts and then fry them with a bit sugar and lots of curry.

[littl3chocobo]

it means removing the core so that it is gone. the core has the bitter part of the brussel and why it smells funky XD it is much more palatable when it is removed

[Monorea]

It doesnt smell or taste much different than most other cabbage.
Normal cabbage usually smells much more.
Besides removing the core of something that small just seems silly.

[Awen Moonshine]

OMG guys! My partner just proposed!!!

[littl3chocobo]

-shrugs- it's like taking the skin off of a kiwi or grape, small but done often enough


congrats!

[Monorea]

Why would you remove the skin from kiwis or grapes? It seems unnecessary except if the kiwi isnt quite ripe then the skin can be a bit too sour.

the texture is unappealing or else the skin is culturally seen as 'gross' XD technically you can eat all of an orange but the pith and seeds but people still peel those

[Monorea]

Well its much ticker and harder but even if you dont eat orange peels directly you still use it for stuff like to give extra taste to cakes or in marmalade.
