'Drink your sprouts!'

Don't look to go

Some swear by Marks and Spencer’s food hall, but I find it a tad expensive for my pocket. That don’t stop the wife and I having a wander around and buying the odd item to get a shopping bag. You then can fill the bag up with cheap shopping so people will think rich bastard he can afford to shop in M&S.

They (M&S) love a novelty product and recently gave the world the fish and chip pie, which I saw but left on the shelf. They now have plans for this Christmas for a Brussel Sprout smoothie. Yes, the much-maligned sprout is getting a national makeover in a major store.

I like sprouts, not every week but from time to time but I don’t fancy drinking them and I will be passing this offer by I can guarantee. To make it more palatable they have mixed it with apple and pear and I can’t see that making much of a difference. The only way I will get to taste this product if there is a free tasting and then I will have to think about it because my money will be staying in my pocket.

This delicacy will not be available until Christmas and will be part of M&S special Christmas food range that includes Christmas dinner in a pie, Christmas cake liquor and an edible cheeseboard made of crackers all of which will be tried and tested my others not me.
