I LOVE Swede! Anyone else with me?

It's like orange mashed potatoes and I love mash which would account for my swede taste. There were halves going for 17p at tesco on their sell-by date so I thought, might as well. Takes two hands to slice and dice these things, they're solid as a rock, but it's worth it. Knob of butter and a bit of salt,.. perfect. Boiled potatoes, small drizzle of melted butter over them and grilled chicken. Burnt skin but who cares, lol. Lovely. That's what I'm eating right now btw.

they're really hard to find over here, shame as I like them too and they're pretty much essential in pasties.

Ah good old swede, it's nice. Love it with looooads of pepper. Also with carrot. And lardons.

I love swede, mashed or on a stew. Must grow some next year to bulk up the autumn veg store. Had a terrible year with squash & parsnips so I could do with some now.

I will have to add carrot next time as that seems to be popular here.

perfect with some creamy mashed potatoes

@PhillyDee, that is what we used to call them in Ireland. Its just England that calls them swede afaik.
and yet a turnip over here, is much smaller with a greenish skin

Vital component of the Cornish Pasty therefore a most excellent vegetable

Mashed swede with a good sized knob of butter and freshly ground black pepper.

Delicious.
