Why are they called Brussels Sprouts? Did someone named Brussels first discover them? They come in all shapes and sizes so they can't be European. Buttered Button Brussels Sprouts are my favourite.
Does anyone want to see some other Egon's-Christmas-Through-The-Ages strips, as inspiration?
I can't be arsed to come up with a menu. I was going to go in for some blatant cheating by nicking some ideas from the old Christmas strips, but thought that was a bit un-sporting. If Diane had set a realistic competition -- like what is the Colonel's wife's middle name, or how may exclamation marks were in the strip published on March 26th 1983, or what is Roger Kettle's inside leg measurement -- I might have had half a chance of winning.
Anyway, this is one from Christmas 2000:

Buttered Button Brussels Sprouts
A simple, but easy vegetarian option for those who would like to do other things than cooking elaborate, expensive and time consuming meals. They are extremely versatile, and make delicious starters, main courses, and a nice savoury twist to a sweet. Blended, they make a wonderful soup, which can also double for a gravy, or a sauce, to pour over the unblended sprouts. They are very filling, but too many may cause a slight discomfort within the bowels.
Diane, what say you and I meet in Newfoundland, get drunk and share the prize?

I have received the PM from Diane and replied. Hah! I felt that she should be the one to announce the winner as the competition has been organised by her. I will, of couse, then get in touch with the person concerned and send off the prize.
