Major Sprout problem

I didn't realise that my wife ordered Brussel sprouts from Tesco so I ordered some last nght in bed and the delivery just arrived but in fact she ordered the spouts to the left and I ordered the sprouts to the right, but by the time I peel and cut the sprouts in the bag to the right there won't be any sprout left to eat!

Mind you there are only 8 sprouts in the bag to the left and that cost £1.25, so 15.625p a sprout is a bit pricey.

I'm fuming and my day is ruined, so I want to warn others to save them making the same mistake.

Why is your day ruined? Sprouts for breakfast, sprouts for lunch and sprouts for tea. What is the to like?
Must admit yours look a bit poxy compared to Mrs MH’s

The trick is not to peel them. I never do, just pick off any manky leaves. Buying peeled sprouts is like buying grated cheese you pay for your own laziness

I only opened the thread to read who Major Sprout was. I wondered if he had been raising money by walking up and down his garden ………...
