Imagine loving a food stuff so much you eat it every day.  Now imagine it is sprouts!

James Hucheon, 17 from Hampshire in the UK, has been hooked on the little green vegetables since he was a child.

The apprentice aero engineer, has them with every meal - from fish and chips to chicken tikka masala.

He reckons he has munched his way through more than 50,000 sprouts in his lifetime and gets a bag of 100 delivered with his weekly food shop.

"Most kids hate sprouts but I loved the taste from the moment my mum first served them to me. She used to get annoyed with me when I was little because I asked for them every time she cooked a roast.

We all enjoy a curry but this is taking it a step too far!

"My favourite meal is sprouts in a tikka masala sauce. Sometimes I even have sprout sandwiches for my lunch.

"My mates give me a lot of stick for it because obviously sprouts can cause you to fart and I do break wind a lot but I always say 'better out than in'.

"Luckily my girlfriend Isabelle loves sprouts too, although not as much as I do. I doubt there is anyone in the world who loves them as much as me."
