Deck the doors with ...Brussels sprouts!

YOU’RE more likely to see Brussels sprouts in Nigella Lawson’s frying pan rather than used as home decorations. But the Domestic Goddess, 56, has decked her house out this Christmas by hanging them from her front door. The unusual wreath costs £39. While sprouts are the Marmite of the vegetable world — you either love them or hate them — they do have qualities especially sought after at this time of year. The Romans used the sprout as a natural Alka-Seltzer when heavy-drinking statesman Cato (234149BC) endorsed them as the best hangover remedy available. Best not eat the ones on Nigella’s door as they’re made out of papier mache.
