You either love them, or you can't stand the sight of them. I think they are really tasty. Not only are they good for the real Christmas lunch, but they are an absolute must for Boxing Day bubble and squeak. This is one of only two vegetables that I recommend to be well cooked, and the other is potatoes. They can be prepared the day before, ready for cooking. You can add a little bacon or Pancetta to the mix if you want.

Instructions
- Cook the sprouts in plenty of boiling water, until soft in the centre, about 10 minutes.
