Yeah I definitely thought about bean sprouts. <g> But fascinating, brussel sprouts on Christmas. I've only had them once, and they're just ok. I'm originally from Texas, and our traditional family meal is tamales, salsa, beans, chips and queso, and benuelos for dessert. (And usually we throw a random ham on the table.) Ultimately, it's not Christmas for us til we throw the queso-Rotel dip on the table!
