The star of Christmas past

I loathe sprouts! It is the only thing other than tripe that I simply cannot put in my mouth never mind swallow (minds out of gutters please). Of course Christmas brings them out in droves! And in childhood christmases I was made to eat them like everything else on my plate (none of this bloody fussy eating of kids today) So it is with great joy as an adult that I can refuse them! However I couldn’t refuse these - because they are chocolate :-)
