A FISH and chip shop has been told to leaf it out after putting battered sprouts on the menu for Christmas.
The dish is an unholy sight for many — but some say they look deep fried, crisp and heaven.

Manager Michael Dodd admitted it was a controversial move but hoped to make converts out of some customers.
Portions containing eight to ten deep-fried battered sprouts cost £1.80.
Michael said: “A lot of people do turn their noses up but I would recommend them to anyone because they are lovely.”
His Almighty Cod chippy in Hartlepool is also serving deep-fried versions of pigs in blankets, pork and stuffing balls and even mince pies.
But one online user said of the sprouts: “It’s a disgrace to the chippy name.”
Another declared: “That’s just wrong on so many levels.”
However, a third commented: “Oh I need these!!!”
And a fourth added: “Sounds and looks quite tasty.”
OVER three million Brits will eat chips instead of roast potatoes with their Christmas dinner, a poll claims.
