The tinned mushies can be a reasonable alternative - if a scary colour! But if you decide to try the tinned marrowfats BB avoid the Thai brand ones - like flippin bullets.
As an alternative to parsnips have a trial run with mooli (chinese radish.) Raw it is just like regular radish. Cooked - steamed that is - it is a bit like turnip and good in stews. I've never roasted them like parsnips but it could be worth a try.
A sprout is for life - not just for Christmas.

If they tax your peas, please put it in the Customs Duty thread. :roll: Pete :cheers:

They actually arrived in record time. I had my doubts that they would get through the system at all, as they are technically seeds and they rattle a lot. My brother sent them normal post last Monday from Southampton, and they arrived in our letter box on Thursday (according to my son). Definitely no duty charged.

They're in Villa today if you can cope with a dried split green pea out of the good ol' USA (46 baht a 500 gm packet). Last ailse on left one intersection away from butchery, opposite cold cuts etc.
Villa also today had fresh Brussels Sprouts (520 baht a kilo). I didn't specifically check out frozen for you, but probably yes - there's lots of frozen Birds Eye products in stock. Failing which the Hua Hin Bakery just off Chomsin Road usually has them. Personally I don't like them when they've been frozen.

I use Chinese Radish. Just as good if not better. Like em stir fried, boiled, in stews and nice roasted too. Dirt cheap and in Tescos

They'll be available in Hua Hin Ham & Bacon 6 days before Christmas.

[Edit] If you click the link above, you'll see a whole range of goodies that you can order for Christmas.

Talking of parsnips and root veggies, there seems to be a lot of 'rooting' for HH&B but I guess he is a sponsor and a mod :duck:

richard, sponsorship had nothing to do with it - I actually avoided the question for half a day on the forum (responded initially by PM), but when a second person asked I thought that I'd better reply.

The fact is, when I asked the question, nobody knew, so I guess that I have provided a legitimate public service

Very much so, I enjoy roast parsnips as much as roast potatoes, so will be going to HH H&B in about 10 days time :cheers:

NB: I don't know if it is necessary, but the web link does say order now for Christmas. It could be worth checking to avoid disappointment.

In defence...I suggested the Ham & Bacon :wink: Just for the mushy peas.

Anyway...back to sprouts..not frozen, buy them small as possible, keep as cool as you can when storing.
Parsnips...my favourite :) Really love them...you can mash them also with carrot yum! I like roasted too with pototoes.
