There are suggestions that there might not be enough potatoes to go around for Christmas
00:05
dinner this year because the autumn has been such a wash out.
00:08
So we're asking the people of Lancashire today what they would miss the most on their Christmas
00:12
dinner if they couldn't have it and this is what they had to say.
00:16
Brussels sprouts, gravy, can't beat gravy, got to be swimming.
00:23
So with the sprouts how do you cook the sprouts?
00:30
Oh I don't cook.
00:32
Yeah boil.
00:33
Yeah you can't beat sprouts, I just eat them.
00:39
That's all I would live on that mashed potatoes, gravy, peas.
00:44
So the shortage of potatoes at the Seine could be a problem?
00:47
Oh definitely, my dinner won't be Seine without potatoes.
00:50
It's got to be potatoes and sprouts, lots of potatoes on Christmas dinner, I mean roast
00:58
potatoes, you can't miss them.
01:01
And then you want some mash to go with it.
01:04
You're saying sprouts are going to be smaller this year, would that be something you're
01:07
worried about?
01:08
They are, they've been getting smaller haven't they?
01:11
They've also been coming on them stalks now, but you still get them frozen.
01:17
How do you cook sprouts?
01:21
Boil them, I don't fry them, some people do.
01:25
Some people put them in with the dinner.
01:28
No I always boil them, some people say that boiling them to death.
01:34
Get a pan, shut your sprouts in with your carrots and just put them all on together.
01:40
Brussels sprouts, they say they're really lovely.
01:44
How do you cook them?
01:47
Just boil them.
01:48
Just boil them what?
01:49
Sometimes, no I don't put them in the microwave, they go all sloppy, so I put them in a pan
01:54
and boil them.
01:55
I'd say the parsnips, I really do like roasted parsnips.
