We are all sprout lovers, bar 1 in this family. Both DGC (5 & 8) love them too.

I saw sprout boy last night. I think he is rather cute.

I love sprouts all year round and any leftovers get mixed with mash to make bubble and squeak :-)

My Dutch get very excited when we have the first sprouts of the year. They love them. I wonder if some people have a different taste system. We all enjoy them . Their new step brothers hate veg. I wonder who will I influence who.

I like the advert - and I love sprouts! grin

Those of you who don't watch TV it's the star cartoon character for the BBC Christmas schedule advert.

I agree, I thought it endearing the first time I saw it but now it it is grating on my nerves. It makes no difference that I loathe sprouts.

I love sprouts (or little green pumps as my DGC call them). I could eat them every day.

Who on earth is Sprout Boy felice ?

Who is "Sprout boy" please (have I been spared something?) and why can't we talk about teapots?
Could we have a sprout emoticon, perhaps? Like tchenvy

Well yes I was amused but it must have cost a fortune I thought the BEEB was hard up.

mollie Thu 03-Dec-15 10:29:33

Oh, I thought this was about teapots and the like...

We can all "spout" on about it here.

Very tasty fried up with a bit of bacon! And easily paused while putting the kettle on and fast forwarded!!

Wonder if the Beeb are being sponsored by the sprout farmers. grin

Yes, irritating rather than amusing.

But not sure if I still will by Christmas. OK the whole thing is very cute and better than previous offerings but I think Sprout boy will be seriously getting on my nerves soon.
