Did the bacon thing last Christmas, but IMHO it detracted from the sweetness. Had to compensate with the view.

I'm getting a subtle hint that you have a place in France.

I'm in the half of the population who experiences sprouts as a combination of bitter almond and cabbage. It simply isn't a case of cooking them differently, other than it becomes a combination of bitter almond, cabbage, butter and bacon.

I have the same absolute hatred for the taste of beetroot, celery or swede and all my family love them.

Strange things the taste buds.

Damn, thought it was too subtle.

I learnt to like swede at primary school as it was often on the menu, I was always hungry, and no-one else seemed to like it.

Any brassicas are good, raw or not too cooked.

Cavolo Nero is the best of them imo.

Until recently I hadn't been aware that swede was a brassica. That is one brassica I dislike.

Taste buds change with age. Comments?

I used to like red wine. Now it all* tastes overly of tannins to me. Ditto single malts**.

Can we please go back to the 1970s.

Definitely no thank you

Definitely.
Except my taste buds are going in the opposite direction. I need stronger and stronger for the same taste hit.

Yes. I'm in the "they are the spawn of satan" side of the debate. I can't tolerate the taste of brassicas. Can't do mint either. Or coffee. Or beer.

Utterly horrible little bastards.
Mrs B lived in Southport when gaining her first degree. When visiting her, there were sections of the road between Ormskirk and Southport that were awful to drive on because of the vile smell from the fields of sprouts.
Mrs B and our eldest love them. My youngest, and as you may have guessed from my opening sentence, think they are vile.

Apparently the main problem with train schedules is that passengers want to get on and off.
They would run much more efficiently without passengers. This country is fücked.

You are drinking the wrong red wine (I know you hate emoji's but imagine the winking one, followed by the laughing one as I laugh at my own joke.)

Only a regulator with no real world experience could have cone up with the original decision to ban passengers,
Sums up so many regulators perfectly - utter muppets.

Yes people who love whisky say that about whisky as well. It is odd that with the possible exception of sprouts people don't say that sort of thing about food.
