Is it always leftovers day or is there a plate shortage?
Why are there always 15 items on the plate with British food?
depicted: 6, and gravy.
to make a typical American meal:
swap cauliflower for macaroni, double the amount of cheese sauce
roast potatoes for fries
roast meat for BBQ
gravy for bbq sauce
peas for collard greens
carrots for Brussels sprouts
yorkshire puddings for a slice on plain, untoasted, unbuttered wonderbread
Since when do the British not like Brussels sprouts?
Me and my sister don't like them so that's at least 2 of us
George Bush Sr. famously hated them. For some reason, people found that funny. I didn't get it then and I still don't get it.
They used to taste far more bitter. Then in the late 90s, a breeder was able to remove that flavor.
I liked them bitter.
Cool. But that's also what people didn't like about them.
Also, without growing an old strain yourself, I'm not sure where you're getting bitter ones these days.
I’m not getting bitter ones these days. And it’s disappointing.
