The clue is in the name I feel. I tried growing sweet potatoes a couple of years ago but they were all eaten from the inside out by something with a sweet tooth. Probably just as well. Then I grew butternut squash (there's another thread on them on here) but they're too sweet for me too. So this year I managed to grow celeriac, which is an amazingly versatile substitute for spud.
I love them roasted or mashed with carrot!Hi everyone.
It's been a while since I've been on. I hope y'all doing good tonight!
I would ask this question on a food forum but why would I when this forum is full of great people who know a lot about food.
I have never tasted them that I can remember.
I do not know what made me buy some but I bought 2 today and thought that I'd ask you all firstly, what they taste like and secondly what your favorite way(s) of cooking them are and what they go well with?
Anyone?

Hi @DeejayR. Can you cook them the same way as potatoes? For example.. peel, chop and boil. Do they have a similar texture to normal potatoes? Do they actually taste like celery? I've never been a fan of celery so I think it will depend on how strong the taste is whether I will like them or not. Thanks.
) as the BBE is 14th. I'm going to have some celeriac instead of potatoes with the lamb. Yes I know... having lamb kind of defeats the object of going low carb but if I use celeriac instead of potatoes then at least my dinner wont be as high in carbs as if I were to have potatoes. 
OK.. the subjects been temporarily changed a little and I know exactly what you mean by hijacking but honestly.. I dont mind at all. 
Looks like I will have to have potatoes with my lamb steaks after all.
Why do you think lamb is a problem?Sorry... i was just being lazy. I found the following for anyone else who is interested:

I have two lamb steaks to eat tonight. They have to be eaten tonight (what a shame
???Nope.. lamb should have just about zero carbs.. meat ( I would go so far as to say all meat) is fine on a LCHF diet. I had 2 6oz burgers for tea. with bacon cheese and avocado in a lettuce wrap.. not many carbs in that so all good. Fat is what keeps us satisfied so we can eat less. It also has no effect on our blood sugars that's where the high fat in LCHF comes in.I just assumed... probably incorrectly that because it's a fatty meat it's high in carbs. Now your probably going to correct me by saying that it's the type of fat that matters, not the amount.
My pleasureAwesome info @bulkbiker. Many thanks.
