Sprout shortage, anyone else noticed? I've not been in the big stores yet, just the local places.

Shame love a sprout.

Sprouts are the bits removed from Satan's intestine during his annual colonoscopy.

Quarter them, deep fry them, salt them, eat them. Best thing ever. Just don't do the deep frying indoors!

Nope. Plenty in Essex and Suffolk, both supermarkets and greengrocers.

there is no sprout shortage, maybe locally and temporarily to you perhaps.

Don't go panic buying sprouts now folk...

Plenty of choice in my local farm shop at the weekend.

Either loose or on a stalk.

Not seen a shortage in Glos.

We have sprouts quite often. Couple of times a week at this time of year

Bonus if the in stalk ones at least from greengrocers is you get the delicious sprout tops on the end too. Dubious if the ones on stalks actually taste any fresher or retain any more benefits than loose ones but the sprout top part is the main reason to sort them out.

Them and turnip tops are best leafy greens in my opinion.

No one likes sprouts, even the people who say they do. They're just confused.

No sprouts to be had today at Tesco Leatherhead. No 19p veg offers either.
