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!
