Funny enough I only saw them for the first time today, what are they like to
eat?



'tops' , ie: the foliage on top of the sprout plant, (younger readers
ask about them from your parents) and which is often thrown away, is
in our opinion the best cooked green veg, and this Xmas, had it with
the Beef and Turkey.
Sold by a few enlightened market stall holders.

That's like beetroot tops, usually thrown away, but I used to get a
bagful every time I went into Swansea Market free for my "Rabbit".
I love them.
