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...

Not since school dinners back in the days before everyone had huge freezers! Seem to remember they are very soft and mushy.

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

I did a double take when I seen them. Was tempted as I love the frozen ones.

I'm wretching now just imagining the smell when you crack open the tin

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.

Whatever next? Tinned mashed potato?

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.

UPDATE. Hubby bought a tin in corner shop last night. Strange smell, brownish colour and very very soft but we actuially like the taste! We eat a lot of tinned veg. anyway.

Bluurgh!!
Fresh sprouts, boiling water, five minutes.

Never seen tinned sprouts

Neither have I. Never knew they existed. Don't think I'd like them though, bit like tinned runner beans which don't taste the same as fresh.
I only like sprouts fresh or frozen.

I haven't in the supermarkets but mostly in small shops, D'Aucy brand.

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

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!

I like sprouts, but I need to cook them for a lot longer than that which I think probably means I don't really like them. I'm told they are better fried, but I've never tried that.

They have them in Morrisons. The D'Aucy brand that you mentioned.

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?
