Why, if the UK, is (unofficially), can I NOT call a Brussel Sprout....a Brussel 'cking Sprout????

Question

And why, oh 'cking , do we sit back and take it up the a r se??

Don't think you're getting the point!!!!! We, as part of the European Union, are no longer, under the trde desciptions act, allowed to call them Brussel Sprouts because they were not grown in BRUSSELS!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Well, vote to get out of the EU. Vote UKIP.

Answer 2

Brussel sprouts are a cool season biennial. Axillary buds are borne in the leaf axils during the first year of growth. A seed head is produced in the second year after vernalization has occured.

Answer 3

Because it's not a Brussel 'cking Sprout - it's a Brussel Sprout.

Answer 4

I think that your question is something like Frank Carson, 'The way you tell 'em' ~ or in this, your case, 'the way you ask 'em.'

Your question is (to me at any rate), 'as clear as mud' ...though having to read it some 6 + times, I think I begin to understand what you are trying to mean.

Personally, as I cannot stand Sprouts, I couldn't care less about them ....though I can't quite see what your reference to the 'a r se' has to do with anything here.

Is this a 'Political' thing?
Sash.
