    Is it only in the UK that sprouts seem to be eaten a lot or do other countries?

    They don't have them in Japan. I quite like them as well.

    Oh god... my mother will no doubt "slip a few sprouts under the peas" like she always does when we go for an x-mas meal at her house...

    My mrs made me eat mushy peas today *again* just to prove to her I don't like them, despite the fact I have done so a few times already. What is it with women that make them think they can nag you into eating stuff they like until you like it? it doesn't work when you try to get them to swall... I mean eat things they don't like!

    Funny game, thanks!

    What's so wrong with brussel sprouts? I think they're pretty good.

    Steamed brussel sprouts with some pepper are great.
    They taste like crap if you overcook them like most people do, though.

    Mmmmm..

    That's rather odd. I'm pretty picky, but I actually like them.

    Actually, I've never eaten them, but they just look gross.

    It's "Shout" by Tears for Fears.

    Hooray for 80s rock bands :)

    Hearing the intro for the game is even funnier after you know the original.

    Hoorah for the awesome synthpop of the 80´s, since that song has always reminded of how cool synthpop can be :)

    They are best steamed and served with chestnuts and sesame seeds. They eaten in New Jersey too! So I won't go without this Christmas.
