Sunday has a couple of swedes

[Star]

I bought one of them £1.50 fruit and veg boxes from lidl yesterday and got two swedes in it.

What do I do with them?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

HAGGIS NEEPS AND TATTIES

 

[Inner Smile]

Chop, boil then mash them

FIST THEM

 

[Inner Smile]

JUGGLE THEM

Can anyone juggle? I'm rubbish at it

 

[tommie]

Errr, two "swedes"?

 

[Star]

Errr, two "swedes"?

Ok, two rutabagas.

 

[Star]

Are you the old Tommie or a new one?

 

[tommie]

Ok, two rutabagas.

What on earth is that?!?

Do you cook it? Or fry it?!

 

[Star]

Chop, boil then mash them

Is it like mashed potato?

 

[tommie]

Are you the old Tommie or a new one?

There's another me?!

 

[tommie]

Oh, it's kålrot. They're vile, throw it away or make an enemy and force-feed it to them. Ugh.

 

[Inner Smile]

Is it like mashed potato?

Yes and one of your five a day unlike mashed potato

 

[Halli]

Is it like mashed potato?

Yes but boil with carrot and mash together with butter and salt and pepper

 

[Lucille]

I LOVE the word RUTABAGA! One of the few POSITIVE contributions the Americans have made to the English language.

 

[Lucille]

Hate ZUCHINNI though, think it’s very GAUCHE when I see it on a British menu.

 

[RS]

Oh, it's kålrot.

Oh it’s a Swede!

 

[lolly]

Is it like mashed potato?

Yes, but on its own its quite a full on flavour. Do like Halli says and mash it with carrot. That gives it a sweetness which makes it a lot more palatable.

You may need to employ help to chop it.

 

[Inner Smile]

You may need to employ help to chop it.

Chainsaw does the job

 

[lolly]

Chainsaw does the job

And Star may need to employ help to use one of those.

Morning. Quiet day for me today although I am currently preparing to have a difficult conversation with someone who I know is not going to respond well.

What do I do with them?

Pop one each in Kylie and Dannii's lunchboxes and see if social service turn up.

On a bouncy castle?

 

[untilted]

On a bouncy castle?

That’d make it something I’d WANT to do

What do I do with them?

I was born in a time that we used to carve them instead of pumpkins at Halloween.

OMG, you can do lots with it. Soup, curry, or mash as an accompaniment. It’s a lot sweeter in taste than a potato, possibly more like sweet potato but not quite. I love it.

 

[big ron]

Mashed carrot and swede is nice on a roast. Lots of butter.

 

[big ron]

I never do it because fuck prepping swede

 

[GNL]

Oh it’s a Swede!

Chop, boil then mash him!

 

[Dark Carnival]

I never do it because fuck prepping swede

Poor RS etc.

One good thing about being a Londoner, free school meals for our kids while at primary school

 

[RS]

Poor RS etc.

He means he likes me RAW

Quite right too. This should be the norm.

Give them one each anyway. What's the worst that could happen?

 

[lolly]

I never do it because fuck prepping swede

Life really is too short

I only ever make it if there is a bag of chopped swede and carrot with a yellow sticker at the end of the day.

 

[RJN]

Chop, boil then mash him!

??

 

[big ron]

Fuck me January is shit

 

[Lucille]

was it always THIS COLD?

 

[Inner Smile]

It's not even COLD!

 

[Inner Smile]

But I do have heating full on
