The Brussels sprouts, they are mort.
So is the arugula and the last of my carrots. Well, some of the carrots are hanging on but they are pathetic, stubby Parisian chumpers hardly worth the time it takes to clean, peel, and cut out all the little worm holes and extra off-shoot roots. I leave them for my son to dig up and throw at the chickens. They rush the little roots in an attempt, but then give up. Those little orange nuggets are way too hard for the birds to peck through. And let's face it, our hens are spoiled girls used to eating panettone and leftover cookies during the holidays, not some feeble cold old carrots Hunter chucks at them like ping pong balls.
But gosh darn those Brussels sprouts. They are the family favorite for fall vegetables for not only their delicious nutty flavor after being caramelized in oil and balsamic vinegar, but for their awesomeness at hanging on through frost after frost until there is nothing left on their stalks but the pale bluish green leaves, now whitened with cold.
The arugula will be back in spring, she is a hearty wench.
Hey, good to find soemone who agrees with me. GMTA.
yummmmm… one of my favourite! I can eat hecnbus of brussels sprouts! Not forgetting the Belgian Endives aka Chicon. I have no problems with such vegetables. Most Belgians would add sugar a bit here and there but I love the taste as it is. If I could eat bittergourd, brussels sprouts is like Kale to me (which is true as they’re from the same family)
I also like to cook it with Sambal Belacan 
pssst I hope no Belgians read this LOL
I grew the endive one season and forced the chicons during winter. What a cool little experiment for a crisp BITTER white!
Wow, that
thanks for share!
My brother recommended I would possibly like this web site. He was once totally right. This post truly made my day. You cann’t believe simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
