A YOUTUBE FIRST!!! A Brussels Sprouts Taste Test

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

We have the same steamer Steve and no more remembering to put the next tray on the stackable ones. I thought you were going to try them raw.......😂. 🍂❄️🍁Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Great bit of kit! I did chocolate coated raw sprout lollipops one year LOL

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@DigwellGreenfingers 😋

[@Nicktgrief]

you should have started boiling the b'jayzus out of them this time last year to do it properly🤣

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

@@Nicktgrief PMSL - 😩I did make a mega mistake once. I put a load of sprouts into one of my "clear the larder" slow cooker stews. OMG - never seen a greener looking stew 🤢

[@bewoodford2807]

Thnk you Steve. Really interesting. Happy growing 🙂

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Cheers, have a great week 🙂

[@myrustygarden]

I’ve never really thought about if they taste different as I just steam mine 😂. But I also love them with cranberries and feta cheese too. Have a super week Steve and thanks for the taste test 👍, Ali 🥶🌞🇨🇦

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

To be fair, it is something I have never thought about before, Mags. I used to grow Crispus and Brodie sprouts and thought they were nice, so I may get some for next year

[@RobinGardens]

Fun comparison

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Burp - yep LOL

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Brussels sprouts taste test, only you could do that Steve 😂 what a great idea 💡👍😄 I'll never buy Brussel sprout seeds or plants in the same way ever again! Have a great week ❤

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Trying to keep the channel fresh, Linda, but eating sprouts did not help - if you know what I mean PMSL 😂💨

[@Feelgoodgardens]

​@@DigwellGreenfingers😂😂😂 Made a note of Dark Mar for next year, thank you 👍❤️

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

@@Feelgoodgardens Non-F1 too so you get loads of seeds!

[@Feelgoodgardens]

@DigwellGreenfingers thanks Steve, I've ordered them ready for next year 👍😄

[@Jacqui-Pen]

I love a good sprout 😊

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Me too and I never really knew they tasted different!

[@Jacqui-Pen]

Nor did I, until your video 😊

[@Jacqui-Pen]

@DigwellGreenfingers we do now 😂

[@mygardenanddinosaurs]

Yum yum. I love sprouts. Nice to see a taste test. Love the steamer but it’s a tad large for my kitchen I think. 🥴. All the best Steve. Mags

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

It is a bit but I use it so much that I have stopped putting it away LOL I made a big mistake with it some time back when i made a jam roly poly and all the fat and suet oozed out of the muslin cloth it was wrapped in! It too ages to clean it all 😂

[@Nicktgrief]

Brigette is a nice one for an early sprout Steve if you can find seed, trouble is they withdraw stuff at the drop of a hat these days and try and flog you a new one! I always grew Brigette and Wellington but then I couldn't get wellington seed.

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

I'll look out for those Nick, cheers buddy! Edit: loads of places have 'Brigitte' - is this the same?

[@gretasgarden]

Yum!! Nice comparison Steve. We do like the wee ones here but all will do great! I growna variety that's for high winds. Otherwise, crazy and ever-present wind rock makes mine blow.

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Mine fall over every year, one of the problems with growing in soft compost I guess. Have a great week Greta!

[@allotmentjoy]

Hi Steve. Good to taste test different varieties. I've got Crispus this year. Darkmar was a complete flop and next year, im trying 'Brilliant'. My other half says, why dont you taste test some Walkers Brussel Sprout crisps? We love them. Somehow, I dont think they would make the christmas dinner plate lol. 🎄🤣⛄️🎅

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Off to buy some later today! I may buy some Crispus and Brodie seeds as I used to grow those and liked them. Only stopped growing them as I ran out of seeds!

[@trold1969]

Nice steamer, I'd still rater fry or roast the sprouts. 😉

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

I do them always. With chestnuts is one of my favourites, then again roasting with honey mustard is great!

[@pixie706]

I love sprouts but it's a shame the shops don't tell us what variety. They label potatoes with variety .

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

I've always wondered about that!

[@turbostream7925]

My sprouts seem to have blown this year, I guess they became loose in the ground over the summer even though I do firm then in. Ahh well, might not bother next year. Be easier to freeze the 15p bag as I hardly eat them. Certainly no one else mad enough to do a sprout taste test lol.

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

You saw it here first, Adrian, you are part of history! Mine always blow over - look at the 3rd one I pick in the intro LOL

[@TheRightPearPlot]

Tastes… sprouty 😂

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

LOL Some things are hard to describe!

[@nickthegardener.1120]

The question is Steve which one makes you trump more 😂👍👌🙏❤️😁

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

The combo of all 4 did well Nick LOL

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

this last couple of years i've grown f1 sprouts. in truth, i found the likes of darkmar and evesham to be just as good. i always cook til soft. ( no bloody teeth left. lol )....................brian

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Haha - I don't mind them a bit firmer whan I roast them.

[@TheRightPearPlot]

Ours are getting slightly bigger by the week 😂 Pressure cooking ours this year if we get any!

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

caterpillars finished mine off for me. back to the drawing board next year. lol.................brian

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

@@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172 Grazers G3 maybe, Brian?

[@robertmeakings9774]

Hi Steve it must be a first but are you going to have gales 😂😂😂

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Batten down the hatches LOL
