She might have come out as a veggie.

If anyone in my family turned veggie and insisted we did the same at Christmas, I think I'd kill them.

...and then eat them, purely for ironylolz purposes.

That would be worse, true.
We ran out of lettuce on Sunday, and sprouts were substituted. This was not a very good idea. I couldn't face all of Christmas in a sprout laden fog.

I am struggling to think of any dish
where I'd consider lettuce and sprouts as interchangable.

What were you eating?

Sprouts, are you blind?

OK, Mr Pedant.
What dish was being eaten where sprouts were considered as a viable substitute for lettuce?

Haha, couldn't resist it.
Could you have them instead of lettuce with pine nuts and pesto for some sort of shitty starter?

We had pizza with a green salad.
She found out she had forgotten the lettuce and replaced this with warm sprouts.

Not recomended

Yeah, I don't think it would have occured to me to even try that.

Spouts are for Christmas, not for life
Or something.

I like sprouts, but not as a suprise.

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 17 Nov 2011, 9:02, Reply)

Spouts are certainly for something other than eating.

Are you saying that you like to put sprouts up your bottom?
Yes, I think you are saying that, aren't you?
Is there no level of depravity to which you will not stoop?

I refer you to previous answers
about periods of time for which I am unable to account.

I am in the unenviable position of not being able to deny with 100% confidence any accusations that come my way.
