He is also advised against meat, which pleases him less. So he rarely touches any veg but carrots.

In the past I have always eaten TWO sprouts at Christmas, partly because I'm a traditionalist and partly to prove to the children and grandchildren that it can be done. On the run up to this Christmas I had a mild attack of gout (to which I am subject - funny in a Gilray cartoon - NOT in fact). I was presented with a sheet of instructions on what foods to avoid. One of them was Brussell Sprouts. Please warn Dave of the risks he is running in persisting in eating a yearly Brussell sprout. Like me, he can now avoid the ghastly things with a clear conscience and on medical advice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-85633604815877805892010-12-29T20:57:22.430+00:002010-12-29T20:57:22.430+00:00You were quite brave enough, Mago.

I was able to make it all but the meringue topping the day before, which was part of its appeal for me. Dora had never had it before, but that's not surprising as her parents are Bengali, so traditional English cookery isn't what she was brought up on.<br /><br />We should have changed the blanket right away, but it was midnight when we discovered it wasn't working and the thought of bed-changing right then wasn't on the cards.
