Has anyone seen fresh Brussels either here in trnc or on the Greek side yet? Usually they are in alpha mega by now, but so far nothing!

Always managed to get them in Illeli in the past but closer to Christmas. Would not want to get them now and keep them!

Last year in desperation I bought some frozen ones, yuck, yuck, yuck. Jonnie has the right idea I suspect.

Tried lemar, shah, supreme, tempo and ya belles - all to no avail any suggestions where else try this side before I venture south?

My old Mum would have been putting them on, around about now...

Keith, I think your mother and mine must have known each other. It was about now that mine started preparing the custard (no cream in our house sadly) It was so thick you could have plastered walls with it. Come to think of it, the hall was a peculiar shade of yellow.

I'm pretty sure there is in most children our our generation a certain mystery about how cooks achieved that shade of grey sprout no longer part of our diet... I wouldn't know where to begin but dinner ladies seemed able to reproduce it week in week out with little or no difficulty. Then they threw all the goodness away with the water!

Starling on the Bellapais Road are selling fresh sprouts in pre-weighed packs - they're on top of the cheese deli counter so easily missed!

Deniz1 · Post by **Deniz1** » Tue 22 Dec 2015 2:16 pm

Loads in supreme 5.95 tl.

Illeli in Alsancak had them loose today but no fresh parsnips yet.

West Side at 1000 on 23rd - nothing in Ilelis nor Tempo. Brussels in Ya Beles.
No parsnips

They will be quarantining them just to get at the Expats (or so some will think), god forbid we get a power cut Christmas day (again just to spoil the expat's fun, or so some will think).

Cheers to you all, from my half full glass!

Brussel sprouts, Brussel sprouts how I do love thee?
I love thee for your crunch when I saute you slight.
I love thee for your warmth when the fall turns into night.
I love thee caramelized with crisp bacon and palm.
I love thee halved and baked with maple syrup and Dijon.

Dearest Brussel sprouts, you are so misunderstood.
GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE, YOU WILL LOVE THEM, YES YOU WOULD.
