Brand New British Vegetable!!!!

Yes it's true - a BRAND new vegetable has been bred in the UK and is available now!

I was in M&S the other day looking for some lovely veg to have with our dinner when I found a completely new vegetable called "Flower Sprout". It's a hybrid cross between a sprout and kale, and is yummy!! It looks like a sprout, but with ruffly leaves, and tastes like kale. We had it steamed, and the buns had a leaf each to try (only tiny ones though).

They have since had a few more leaves and are well and truly converted. It's a wee bit expensive :)oops::oops:) at £1.50 a box (for about 18-20 florets) but really good for a wee healthy treat.

I saw that on gardeners world where they were planting the seeds. Only problem is its not a quick growing veg. The buns would love me thinks.
 
I bought some of those in M&S a couple of months ago and yes, they were very expensive. But I thought my buns and piggies are worth it so I splashed out and took them home. Would the little blighters touch them - no they wouldn't. They can have cabbage in future and lump it :roll::lol:.
 
i got an email bout this, but dubious im just to ole fashioned i like my ole traditional veggies
