To be fair, much like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, I am doing trial runs of the recipes at home before making any decisions.

WARNING – do not fry in boot polish – highly flammable!

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.

Tom, you should get your "Buttered Button Brussels" in a menu pronto - before someone nicks your idea!

[Rob Baker]

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:



Does anyone want to see some other Egon's-Christmas-Through-The-Ages strips, as inspiration?

Do bears extrude poo in the forest?

[Tom]

Yes please, Rob... I can only think of my Buttered Button Brussels Sprouts.

This one is from Xmas 1996. I've started putting some more up on the Just a Fort section...
