I quoted a scene from the Christmas Episode (entitled "Holy") of the very funny show "Bottom" starring Rik Mayal and Adrian Edmondson that I'd watched earlier (I hoped someone would get the reference!). It wasn't a dig at any sprout-lovers on the forum!

Honey glazed parsnips, sprout leaves with pancetta and garlic butter, Chantanay carrots, pigs in blankets, sausagemeat stuffing balls, goose fat roasties and sprouting broccoli.

Fairly traditional.
