Think you'll find most supermarkets have them in the freezer cabinets Tiff.
Also you know sometimes they have diced fresh veg for soup making, well they often have diced fresh swedes in that section too.

Re: The Bane of my Life! - THE SWEDE.

Thanks very much for the tips. Unfortunately, nine times out of ten I decide on swede and carrot mash using leftover vegetables 5 or 6 days after purchase. I prefer to use whole veg myself rather than prepackaged.

I've tried the mashed carrot and swede from Sainsbury's, iceland and Tesco, and to be perfectly honest, they were all yuk! so watery and sloppy we both left it. I've also tried the cubed carrot and swede from Sainsbury's, I'm afraid we found the taste was very bland, even though I added the usual little bit of nutmeg and some butter to it, also they didn't mash very well when cooked.

I guess I will have to continue with HWMO slicing the end off and peeling the swede for me, and dicing it the way the video shows.

Isn't it ridiculous? who would believe a request for the easiest way to peel and slice a swede! Sigh!

Re: The Bane of my Life! - THE SWEDE.

The pre=packed stuff is tasteless - heaven knows what they do to it to stop it going 'off' when they pack it.

I only use fresh stuff - locally grown whenever possible. Swedes are a pain - but delicious!
