Thanks Garth for being a good sport and trying crap that we don’t need to 😂😂

Just when you think you have seen everything, you get thin, watery bacon wrapped around soggy sprouts and charged £20 a kilo. You are right, you could not make it up! I love the facial expressions at the beginning of the video, I knew this was going to be funny - what, you mean they are serious?! 🤣Thanks for cheering up a dull, grey Friday, just what I needed. 😊

Every year, last thing at Christmas, sprouts are 10p a bag or stores even give them away. Add in a pack of cooking bacon offcuts and you and yours can fart your way well into the new year.

My x mother in law did Brussels mixed with bacon bits and breadcrumbs, delicious.. She fried the bacon bits, cooked the Brussels then popped them in to a shallow pan with a knob of butter, then added the breadcrumbs, absolutely lovely 🎅

Saw these today and showed them to my daughter who loves bacon but hates sprouts. Her reply “why would you ruin bacon with a sprout?”

1970s Christmas dinner as a child , always cooked fresh and always an absolute treat .

Best bit's the foil container, mate. Perfect for storing bobbles, hair grips, hairpins and comb.......ohh, right. Gotcha😉😁👍!

You really deserve a medal for scoffing this diabolical stuff for us Gareth.

Nothing is ever going to be crispy if swimming in fluid. Cheers Gareth. Simon M

This video had me in stitches. 40p a sprout I wouldn’t waste the electric cooking them. A lot of veg comes from Romania that’s why we are robbed. Buy local is right Gareth Thanks for the laugh and the review ❤

LOVE sprouts cooked with chestnuts

Iceland never fail to not disappoint 🤣

I like brussels and bacon stirfried with some onion. Sometimes have some left over mash too - much cheaper than these brussels in blankets!

That was definitely "above and beyond' duty. Thanks for persevering.

my favourite way to have sprouts is to make a creamy batter (made with gram flour), seasoned with salt, black pepper and garam masala (or your fave spices of choice)..., quick dip in the batter then deep fried like pakora until golden brown, crunchy, spicy, sweet balls of fire 🔥🤤. You should do some "made from scratch" videos Gareth 👩‍🍳

Sprout and bacon soup is delicious. Fry your sprouts cut in half in a little oil until well browned, then add your bacon lardons and a finely chopped onion and fry until well done. And then add some chicken or Turkey Lurkey stock cook for a further 20 minutes then blend and add a little bit of single cream and serve and garnish with some deep fried crispy sprout peelings delicious.

Yes!!!! Definitely the bacon needs longer!! Ok if you like Brussel sprouts 😊 x great review Gaz again Gaz 👌 xx

A useful review explaining why it doesn't work. Just this morning I was looking at the Iceland site wondering if I should order anything or not (I didn't) and I noticed these were on offer. Something like this anyone could make and cook themselves in less time and with far more success....plus it would be a lot, lot cheaper.

I tried these recently and I wholeheartedly agree with you Gareth when you say they're not luxury.. they looked cheap and tasted absolutely awful. Keep up the good work Gareth.

Thanks, Gareth. You are now excused Xmas sprout duties ...!

The phrase 'more money than sense' springs to mind.

You are one hell of a brave man eating those! X

They needed way more cooking to crisp that bacon up. Changes the flavour completely. Stick them in air fryer next time

Hi Gareth, hope you have got over the taste, I saw these yesterday in Iceland, my 1st thought was... 40p a sprout. That'll teach me to look in the Christmas section.. Keep up your good work.

“Goodness No” haha! Sums it up perfectly Gareth. Yeah I think I’ll keep my four quid. Great vid, keep it up mate.

Well said local shops for local people

Always get Sprouts on the Vine,much nicer taste.

HI GARETH DEBRA HERE FROM MAESTEG SOUTH WALES I love my Brussels raw. Grated and then added to a salad or mixed into mashed potatoes and served with any meat.

Brilliant as always, we'll stick to the traditional way, yes £0.70 a bag. Not sure anymore if i watch to get much needed advice or to see you chuckle...you're hilarious too, thanks for cheering us all up 😂

Tis the season to be jolly , ho ho ho ! I spat my tea out where I laughed so much. Food fit for the bin in my opinion 😂

O Gareth what has happened to Iceland? Why couldn't they have been produced in England? Agree with you about supporting our butchers that's where I'll get my bacon and sausages from to make my piggies in blankets delish. Hugs from Shropshire ❤

Once again a product you would never think of is put through a development process which only works in a lab environment. Thanks fir buying and enduring this and I am sure there is more to come in this festive season. Maybe Cranberry dumplings, or sprout stuffing, or turkey and ham pasties....

That's another one for the team, my sprouts have been on the hob since July and will be ready just in time for Christmas. great review Gareth you do make me smile.

Well done Gaz, you're braver than most of us for trying those monstrosities. I love bacon and sprouts, but I could not imagine how anyone would think cooking sprouts in the oven was a good idea. The cheap, smoked bacon, was never going to crisp up with all the moisture.

HI GARETH DEBRA HERE FROM MAESTEG SOUTH WALES I would have fried them quickly after cooking thrm in the oven just to brown the bacon and crisp them up a bit, as they looked a bit anaemic done just in the oven

Sprouts are the Rolls-Royce of vegetables…I LOVE them! 😋

The Romanian Factory staff must think we are absolutely bonkers for eating these 😂 although I imagine most Brits wouldn’t touch them either

Oh my gosh - definitely a Fail would you say. Thank you for your assessment. Think you’ve saved quite a few of our pennies ☺️🙌👍👏🏻

Good on you Gaz 👍♥️ for giving these a go 👍 Have a lovely weekend ❤️

The pains you go through to help us punters is amazing Gareth Have a nice weekend.

Always a good watch Gareth. Sprouts cut into halves or quarters and sauteed with some bacon lardons allowed to go a bit crispy can be a good alternative to boiled to death green blobs but that looked disgusting - crazy price too!

Great video and so glad you tried these so others can give them a wide berth! Have a good weekend and stay well.

I will try an experiment at home and try and make these better ( roasted fresh sprouts and real smoked bacon) :-)

I love your videos,they are so funny. This has to be the best one yet and I could feel your pain as you ate those sprouts 😬 Keep up the good work 😁.

So glad you tried these was going buy them for Christmas think I’m sticking with Aldi for Christmas

Any form of cooked Brussels sprouts KILL my stomach with cramps, pains the lot....plus I hate the taste cooked. However, by accident a few years ago I discovered they are SO much nicer raw in a kind of salad plus no stomach issues whatsoever eating them raw. I shred them quite finely in a food processor with 1-2 🥕, sometimes I'll add in finely chopped spring onions. I them top them with pomegranate seeds and serve with a vinaigrette dressing or tescos balsamic glaze is lovely or even flavour the vinaigrette with orange 🍊 juice. It gives lovely christmassy flavours and has oriced a big hit with my family who can't or won't eat cooked bessels sprouts. Leaving them raw also maintains the nutrients (look at the colour of the cooking water u discard when boiling them) and also u dont get that awful 'rotten egg' stench from cooking them. We always used to say in our house Xmas day " right who's the filthy bugger who's been farting away!!?". 😂😂 .

great video as always Gareth, funny when you took the first bite!! Keep up the great day! Hope you're well too :)

Thankyou :)

I love sprouts. Can't have a roast potato without one.

I usually cook my xmas sprouts with bacon off cuts and chestnuts and of course a smidgen of garlic.

At least you were still smiling at the end lol. Brave man as that looked grim.

Best place for an uncooked Brussel sprout-in the farmers field. Best place for a cooked Brussel sprout-the compost bin.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏My Friday Morning , Watching to start my Friday morning off with a Smile to start my day . Thank You Gareth 😂 for making my morning . Watching from 🇨🇦🇨🇦 Take care yourself and family 👏👏👏👏👏

When in Cuba years ago at every meal breakfast lunch and dinner even had battered sprouts But it was a magic hal xx

T'how do spot on! Everything is being wrapped in bacon in festive period. Those would be an eyeful places either side of those XXL pugs in blankets you previously reviewed. 1kg frozen sprouts in Asda currently on offer for £1! Sprouts are better oven roasted on their own I think that bacon Is misleading more fat than bacon.

You should have moved them to a sheet tray to cook them; the high sides of the original container kept them from getting nicely browned.

I think this nicely demonstrates why I so seldom shop in iceland. To be fair to them, boring things like pizzas and frozen mini-roasts are usually fairly ok, but then there isn't much to muck up with those... Sadly other stuff seems to alternate between being silly high prices, very underwhelming, or simply vile, so really these days Iceland shopping has become a rather hit and miss affair. Anyway, that aside, the comedy value of the slightly mishap prone videos of this week has been priceless so thanks for another enjoyable watch Gareth.

Train crash….Keep up the good work….I won’t be adding those to my festive Pot Noodle and Christmas Pukka Pie on Christmas Day lunch😂👍

Probably on a crisper tray in the airfryer would help. It would keep them out the gunk which would drip down below. Improved anyway.

I love Brussels sprouts and bacon so would have probably got these! Glad I watched this first! 😂 I remember one year one of the supermarkets done battered Brussels sprouts which I loved!

Mate, just love your face when it’s pap. Quality fella 😂

Well despite the possible panic buy to get these in for Christmas I may give them a miss. I am in a bit of a confusion as I am not a fan of sprouts but like bacon. They could do cauliflower wrapped in bacon. Or peas wrapped in bacon. Or bacon wrapped in a sandwich. Sometimes I feel these food companies have too much time on their hands to invent any Christmas themed food. Christmas cake wrapped in bacon? Despite the obvious discomfort I loved the video and laughed at the great facial expressions. Thanks for your sacrifice.

Brave of you to have more than one!

Love how ya must be mad and rolled your head round a struggle with my mental health and these make me happy keep doing it mate ya great allways puts a smile on my face

I love, love, love Brussel sprouts. I would cook them until the bacon is crispy. Novel idea. The water would be from the Brussel sprouts.

Ermmm cheers for the review Gaz, I will leave these in the supermarket though! 😂 …. Smithy

I don't know about luxury!!! Well I love brussel sprouts and bacon but this doesn't seem to work. The best way to cook them together is to chop up some back bacon and sprouts then fry them in a pan until crispy. I find this really tasty. Maybe if you'd cooked them a bit longer they may have been a bit better, but four quid! A rip off I think.

I’d unwrap the bacon off each sprout and stick it in the pan to crisp up then make a nice sandwich out of it. As for the devils food balls, well the bin is to nice a death for them. Good honest review. 👍

Gareth, I'm shocked you actually left Iceland with your shopping. It is such an odd combination and don't get me started on the price. What next, mince pies covered in sausage meat? 🤪

Preparing the Brussels sprouts is a bit of a chore - but yes - you could make these for far cheaper, and probably to a much higher quality yourself.

Frozen sprouts are always watery. Brave boy lol.

Yay, happy Friday.

Hi I addmeryou for tying OUT new thing's. 👍

This reminds me again why I dont shop often at Iceland. their ideas so often miss the spot. I actually like Brussels Sprout al dente but the family are not so keen. Usually then we roast them with lardons or cubbed chorizo, garlic onion and pine nuts. Wrapping in bacon just seems clunky.

Igrew sprouts this year yum

They look like a good vet could bring them back lol. Love sprouts but not frozen ones. Will definitely try making them myself, thanks for a great review

GREAT REVIEW bacon needs be cooked more may do this my self boil some frozen brussels and wrap them in smoked bacon

Thank you for your sacrifice! I love sprouts and I love bacon so it sounds like a marriage made in heaven for me, it turns out it's like putting ketchup on Coco Pops

Good honest review as ever, you're a brave/stupid man for trying those, I think you missed the main point when you were looking at the serving suggestion on the box, you missed the three Redcurrants that were obviously bringing the whole meal together. 🤣🤣🤣👍

Have you tried the Brussel Sprouts wrapped in Brussel Sprouts. These are £8 per pack !!! I believe RO 399 is added Vitamin C. Aren't brussel sprouts supposed to contain Vitamin C in the first place ???

Your face said it all when you tried that watery sprout! Whoever thought this would work needs to think again, but thanks for trying them!!

A very important tip. When I was cooking bacon on the Frying pan a lot of white gunk appeared. I think its coming out of the fat, Well i scraped it off with a spoon and left it on the side of the pan in a pile where it got Brown and crisp, Well one day i was scraping the little bit of burnt gunk off the pan with a spoon and decided to taste it. OMG it was like putting 10 crispy salty rashers into my mouth, i know it has to be bad for you but the flavour gives me a high , it has to be brown and crispy and you will only get a tiny bit but the taste of bacon is magic .

Thanks Gareth for trying. They didn’t look good, but might try and make my own in the airfryer. Thanks for the idea 😊

Don't mind sprouts with bacon but I blitz the sprouts in the food processor and fry them in butter in a pan with chopped bacon and garlic.

Any frozen brussel is watery looked nasty lol Great review saved a lot of people money there

dont worry about the water i understand how it looks but its just mainly water from the sprouts cause they retain a lot and a bit of grease from the bacon, youd be better off taking them out of the packet and putting them on a baking tray then the bacon MIGHT go crispy haha but it sounds like they aint much good anyway just keep this ion mind if you ever do anything similar

They look nice i love sprouts have you tried tinned sprouts very nice full of taste

Little balls of bitter disapointment. My Mom used to boil them to make them tender, if they weren't, toss them back in the pot. They were always bitter and never tender. Thanks for the review, I had a good laugh.

I think you should have taken them out of the foil container and put them onto a baking tray

Have a great weekend

For £4 you could get some good quality DRY-Cured streaky bacon and wrap it round 10 brussels, and have change, and have something that looks and tastes so much better

Getting old allows a bit of leeway for a bit of madness. I will not be telling the wife about these or I will wrapping sprouts in bacon half the day. I think with fresh sprouts and good fatty bacon and well done these could work well. Frozen sprouts tend to hold water. I would maybe finish them off in the air fryer.

The white goop is proteins having been injected with the water content, it is not nescessarily pig protein it can be anything, i hate that. All the bacon sold now and long into the past has been pumped full of this goop, there is no way of knowing what harm this causes to people. I guarantee charlie boy our so called king never eats this shite. Good review mate, and in highlighting the sub standard bacon / food we the general public are forced to eat. Cheers. Andy. Scotland.

The sacrifices you make for your channel are never ending. How you managed to put this disgusting concoction in your mouth is mind blowing. Just saved everyone four quid Gareth. x

Well my two favourite things on the Christmas Dinner plate are sprouts and pigs in blankets! So was excited when I seen this video. But seems a bit of an anti-climax! 😂

Luxury, hmm I wonder if Fortnum and Masons do them? Probably £4 each though. Somebody somewhere saw a picture of something similar (Spanish tapas) and thought lets do these for Christmas.

Gareth, that the food photo was (as we know) taken under special lighting to give the impression of a darker, more crispy appearance. Like you say, get your ingredients locally - you know what you're getting that way.

you look truly gobsmacked at those Gareth, i was PMSL at this one!

Any chance you could do a review of the year come Christmas time, on say your top 10 best buys and top 10 rank bad buys. (This Year) That would be a great video to see! I love sprouts but that’s put me off this weeks Sunday scoff!!

That is shocking.xx😮
