OMG everywhere has run out of sprouts!!!! Well i went to asda and lost the will to live.....it was hell on earth. I spent £130 in there.

I was going to go home, but i thought i will just just run into tescos :eek: and get some there and they had sold out too!!!! Spent another £100 in there!!!!

Not going anywhere else, woman in tescos said it was because of the weather, the delivery lorries cant get through!!!, she also said Morrisons had run out. Just wish i had looked in M and S this morning when i picked up the turkey!!!

What am i going to do, sorry but its not xmas dinner without sprouts!!!!

Gonna see if the farm shop is open tomorrow, and if not the only other place is Co-op, fingers crossed!!!!!

I HATE SPROUTS!!!

Got 1 small bag for my mum, DH and his sister to share. That's all we need.:D

If I had no stuffing, I would be :angry:

Oh no Lou!

I have plenty but I'm nowhere near you or I'd happily share.

Phone your local radio station and appeal then you'll get loads :laughing:

I've got some as well. Had to ask for loose ones in Sainsbury's though. They went and found some out the back.

I know it's not the same, but what about frozen ones? I keep some in the freezer as I'm the only one that eats them in my family and I only have 6 or 7 at a time.

I dont like frozen ones.

I am hoping that people who live near me read my comments on facebook and come to the rescue!!!!

If not......well at least i managed to get lemons to go in the gin....every cloud and all that!!!!

I absolutely can't stand sprouts! They make me gag, just the thought of eating one makes me feel ill! Ha!

Glad you got some - great idea about FB!

I got mine this morning from the local BP garage that has a M&S shop on site.

Tesco only sent me 250g not the 500g i had ordered :angry:

My thoughts exactly Spangles. Sprouts are banned in my house!
Brilliant idea about FB though.

I cook them with bacon and chestnuts, only way to make them even mildly palatable, then I eat the bacon and chestnuts and leave the sprouts for everyone else :laughing:

DH & I love sprouts, but you'd think I was trying to poison the kids when they see even ONE on their plates!

We all like sprouts but I can't be doing with the last minute rush for everything. I bought mine from M & S at the end of last week, prepared them, blanched them and whacked them in the freezer! Perfect:thumbsup:

Glad you managed to get some Lou!
