What does this mean?

My Welsh auntie tried to teach me Welsh.

Pedwar. Four.

That's all I can remember.

Mock if you will - it's in the bible

Genesis 3, verse 9

"And lo, whilst Gods back was turned in the allotment of Eden, did Satan sow seeds of his own. An evil foul tasting blasphemy in vegetable form, placed for the foolish and demented of the Almightys creation to eat and cause many a pungent expulsion of wind ..."

Only a sprout hater would believe that shite.

Anyway ladies. It's September 9 and time to put the Christmas Day sprouts on a low jet.

We don't want them all hard and crunchy now do we?

I bloody love sprouts.

September is horifically early for Christmas though.

15 weeks is only just enough time to write my Christmas list.

I saw half a dozen Asian ladies in mini skirted Santa outfits giving out Park catalogues from my bus.

It was a strangely sad sight.

Don't want to think about Christmas. Means nearly another year gone.

I might have asked last year but what is it with sprouts and Christmas in the UK? Is it just that they are in season?

It must have started like that I suppose.

I have them with every Sunday roast though, all year.

Alway wondered because it is still common here for Christmas Lunch to be a roast but never really hear of sprouts been part of it.

Traditional Sunday lunch in my house growing up was a toasted sandwich, even though I think both my parents grew up with the roast tradition.

I do like a toasted sandwich.

Are parsnips part of traditional Christmas lunch over there?
