Love or hate sprouts, they are almost impossible to avoid at this time of year. The little green veg see a huge spike in sales around Christmas as people snap them up to add to their dinners on the big day - but typically, while half the family gobble them down, there are plenty left behind languishing on plates as their slightly bitter, cabbage-like flavour isn’t to everyone’s palate.

But how about a burger made from sprout bhajis? We visited popular Indian eatery, Bundobust, in Manchester city centre to try out their new Christmas menu - which also features a new festive daal, biriyani balls and gingerbread beer - to find out if sprouts can be made tasty after all, for our video review.
