Funny you should mention sprouts. My youngest son's favourite sandwiches are alfalfa and peanut butter, and he loves plucking them out of their life preserving tray and straight into his mouth. We're a cannibalistic family, I suppose. *shudder* When we gather pipi and cockles we open them then and there and eat them. Kina too. Make a rawfish on the boat straight after we've caught it. *drool* Might be a trip to the beach this weekend. getting hungry.

OMG, I'm drooling . will you adopt me? I only mentioned sprouts because someone said they couldn't eat them . cos they are living things . I eat spinach.beans, potatoes, lettuce & all sorts of 'living' veges & they were nurtured & living well, until I gathered them from my garden. go figure! Should I feel guilty?

Smack. I know what you were doing. don't play with the quarry or tease the sprouts. God forbid I have to tether you to a stake in the middle of the paddock. lololol. Just picked a crop of silverbeet to steam with some spuds then mash with fresh garlic drizzle olive oil cracked pepper and sea salt.

We had mussel fritters last night,,, I open the live mussels and leave them to drain well until I am ready to cook dinner . then I make a batter with self raising flour, an egg and salt and pepper and milk . No measurements for this cook. I then cut the mussels into pieces and add to batter. Last night I added a small teaspoon of curry powder but I don't always do that.

I do that often & sometimes it's fantastic & then I can't remember exactly what I used for next time & then I have to admit to a failure (or 2)

The radish sprouts in my fridge have all died, but we enjoyed them hugely despite them screaming for mercy every time we opened the door. Tonight it's the turn of the lettuces.

Lett us be they may call to you as you reach for them. They never intended to mussel in on the sprouts action after all.
