Mentioned this thread to the wife - her response "tell your sb friends that you can't have proper veggie soup without celery." Probably props up subasurf's comment re; "roughage" in that it's cheap/easy to grow & filled bellies in the depression years.

Who am I to argue?

I'm just recovering from dengue fever and this thread was some inspiration to make a big pot of veggie soup (complete with celery) as my first 'meal' in more than a week.Soup never tasted so good!

^^^ Now you're just being silly - those things are for throwing at fighting cats in the middle of the night - "not for human consumption".

The prob with sprouts is it is not cold enough in OZ, my grand dad used to grow a few plant of them in Switzerland and collect them after they had frost marks on them, I loved it was so soft and not bitter at all, just boiled and then pan fried in butter with speck (euro bacon). Was a meal by it self, or with a sweet sauce to be side dish to venison!
I tried to freeze it and cook but they stay bitter and hard!
