We gave a Dinner Party last night and the as we were 'rather late', some of
the pots and dishes were not cleared away into the Dish Washer. Has anyone
seen what happens to a Silver Serving spoon if left in a Tureen of Brussel
Sprouts?

One needs to make haste with the Silver Polish! We were amazed at the mess
if was left in.

I would venture to say that that was due to sulphur in the sprouts.

? Posh? I take it you serve your sprouts at the table from a bucket and use
a garden trowel?

Maybe he uses a normal serving bowl and a wooden or stainless steel utensil?

We don't, we put them onto a plate straight from the saucepan, it saves on
the washing up and also losing heat twice, still, if you like cold
vegetables and polishing silver then your way is best.

oooooh, handbags!

Personally, i never use silver polish as i'm a lazy so and so. Instead, put your silver in a bowl/tub filled with hot water, salt and a sheet of tinfoil at the bottom. The tarnish transfers to to the foil and all you have to do is leave it for a while then pluck it out and give it a quick wipe with a cloth - ta da! Very shiny silver and no messy polish sticking in all the cracks.

that's my handy household tip for the day!

Indeed yes, insofar as we don't eat sprouts. We prefer to eat the pig
which ate the sprouts.

Sounds familiar!
My husband (avowed carnivore) says he likes vegetables, so long as
they are pre-processed by a cow or a pig!

(But I'm educating him gradually... he admits homegrown veg do taste
better and I do catch him eating them!)

Well there you go. The keepers of the newsgroup have taken GREAT DELIGHT to
show that I am NOT posh, even common perhaps?

So even the Barracloff has got it wrong toooooooooo!!!!!!

Happy Christmas everyone :-))
