The GBVC is wanting recipes using Brussels sprouts.

TopVeg loves sprouts steamed for 15 minutes – & can’t really beat that – but do let us know if you have a mouthwatering sprout recipe.

Sprouts are ready in the garden now, and should last for several months, so we could do with some variation!

It is all for a very good cause – Royal Navy Commanding Officer Wayne Keble OBE who is in charge of the illustrious HMS Bulwark, has dared to suggest that sprouts should be banned from the captain’s table – he actually called them the ‘devil’s vegetable.’

The Captain added “One of my roles as Commanding Officer is to ensure that we are fit and healthy and that we have a healthy lifestyle, moderate our alcohol intake and make sure we are not overweight.”

But, sprouts fill that role – as they are full of fibre, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, calcium and iron- just what his  390-strong team of sailors and Royal Marines need.

The GBVC is hoping that some tempting recipes will change the Captain’s mind – & hopefully win him over to sprouts.  So recipes for Brussels sprouts are wanted for a good cause; please send them in!
