Thank you.

Slim ... Swede IS cow food. It's Just Wrong

That is SO true. But my lovely Jaki likes them, so I cook them for her, 'cos I loves her!

I think it's a northern thing - they eat them in Scotland and call them neeps and serve them mashed as a celebration on Burns' Night.

Swede is nice. It's even nicer when mashed with carrot, butter and white pepper. I'm northern so maybe it is a northern thing, we is brought up on well 'ard root veg. Yes Chez, let's all pick on Slim.

I'll take all yer slings 'n arrows, whether they be radish hewn or not! Give me rutabagas or give me celeriac! (I decided I'd go for another storage crop over death)

I know you Northern Types eat swede ... it's weird isn't it, what makes you shudder? We were fed it all through each winter at home, all sort of squishy and watery, in cubes.

What makes me shudder? Mashed potato!

. Probably the result of school mashed potato, which was sometimes poured from a jug, like custard!

I used to think that I didn't like steak, or lamb chops, or pork chops.

It turns out that my father is just terrible at cooking them, and had a habit of handing us well-browned leather.

Perhaps it's time to re-investigate the rutabaga with a different cooking approach?

(I also used to think that most vegetables were no good, until I learned that steaming wasn't the only way to prepare them)

Might I suggest that rutabagas come out of water after par-boiling at most?

Oh no mash when done right is yummy. As long as you don't let it go cold, then it just starts to solidify.

Lots of people have told me that, but there are so many vastly better ways of preparing potatoes that I can't see the point of trying to get over the heaves.
