  3. You believe that all out war with the loss of many, many lives was the only solution to a fracas over an eternally disputed island group?

Buttered sprouts with chestnuts and bacon - ---------------------------------------------------- 1¼kg Brussels sprouts, trimmed (or if buying pre-trimmed, buy 1 kg) 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces (or use more, if you like) 200g vacuum-packed chestnut 50g butter -------------------------------------------------- Take the sprouts out, leaving the crispy, crunchie bacon + nutty bits and your on. Otherwise I'll stick to peas and carrots. ------------------------------------------------ Some of the Daily Telegraph Brussels sprout facts The area covered by Brussels sprout fields in the UK is the equivalent of 3,240 football pitches Last year, a team of scientists and local schoolchildren used the energy from 1,000 Brussels sprouts to light a Christmas tree on London's Southbank. In 2010, the British vegetable brandTozerseeds created a new vegetable called the Flowersprout, a hybrid of the Brussels sprout and kale that contains double the amount of vitamin B6 and vitamin C of traditional Brussels sprouts. In August, adventurer Stuart Kettell, 49, rolled a Brussels sprout to the top of Mt. Snowdon using only his nose, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer support. Sprout fan Linus Urbanec from Sweden holds the current world record for the most Brussels sprouts eaten in one minute. He swallowed 31 on November 26, 2008. The heaviest ever sprout was grown in 1992 and weighed 8.3kg (18lb/3oz).
