Was thinking of this thread last night while I was struggling to cut up celeriac!

Even more difficult to cut, what with all its spiky bits. Well worth it though, I do like Celeriac mash.

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

LOL, Maybe we should write to the supermarkets and suggest they sell whole peeled and sliced swedes on the vegetable shelves. I certainly wouldn't mind paying a little more for them. Same with Celeriac and Turnips. It's not a case of laziness, It's just that I only like fresh veg, regardless of it being 5 days old, but it's so blessed difficult to prepare for some of us old farts. (I know, I know. Speak for yourself Shroppie!)

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

I don't think I could bring myself to pay extra for cut up veg (must be the Yorkshire and Scottish blood in my veins ) and like Shropshire girl I like to buy them as fresh as possible (though ditto, the celeriac was also 5 days old )

Actually I didn't find the celeriac as difficult to cut up as a swede. Or butternut squash, that's another toughie!
I made cream of celeriac soup last night, t'was very nice!

Not tried that one. Would you share the recipe, please, Glanny?

That is a softer swede, sharper knife and a stronger arm, than any I have fought with. Grr!

You would be surprised at how much ready mashed potato and ready mashed swede, the supermarkets sell. I believe Waitrose even do chopped onions.
