Tinned brussel sprouts.
Anyone tried these? Seen the D'Aucy make in the shops. Mixed reviews, some love them and others say they're awful. Only one way to find out I reckon...

Apparently 80,000 cans were sold at Christmas, for convenience I suppose.

no, don't really fancy that........
![]() I've tried loads of veg over the last few years as I've changed my diet to more healthy eating .............and I have had fresh sprouts several different ways but never quite liked them and I've given up on them now I can't imagine tinned sprouts will be any better ! |

I love sprouts but can't say I fancy trying tinned ones.
The only vegetables I regularly buy in tins is sweetcorn as it is lovely cold and tinned tomatoes. |

They're absolutely awful.
I tried a tin over Christmas and they never even made their way on to the plate. The smell alone was enough to put me off. |

Tinned mashed potato is Smash surely. Haven't seen it in a while but I remember it being in tins with a plastic resealable lid

Tread carefully!
Tinned Brussels sprouts - bear no relation to fresh ones,. Be warned! But puréed with bacon bits and/or carrots, butter and pepper they make for an interesting companion to your roasts. But never be tempted to serve them as a solo vegetable unless you have lost the will to live!

Oh my God I love tinned sprouts! sprouts are my favourite food anyway, when I used to work in a corner shop we used to sell them but no one used to buy them so I used to eat them. They are expensive though, considering the price of fresh ones (well in the winter anyway).
They don't sell them in my local Morrisons If anyone in Brighton sees this post and knows where I can get them please let me know? |
