Another vote for butternut squash, it works really well.

It’s one of my favourites out of those suggested. I make ‘lasagne’ with butternut squash slices in place of pasta and also butternutsquashetti bolognese!

Chunks of swede? I love it mashed with butter and pepper and it doesnt affect my numbers like carrots do.

I can tolerate swede too and carrots. I always keep Tesco mashed carrot and swede in the freezer!

Another vote for celeriac. Or baby turnips? Not often seen but they're not as strong as the grown-up ones and kind of work as a substitute for the new pots.

Oh you people... I now want a curry for tonight's meal, but I'm in the middle of making chicken soup!

Massaman with potato is more common nowadays, but before potato became widely available in Thailand, yellow-fleshed sweet potato was a classic ingredient.

dishonesty, people who throw garbage out on to the streets,
I make mine with butternut squash and add a side of steamed kale. The squash and kale are strangely good together.

I’m going for cauli rice this time but I might try kale next time, I haven’t had kale since I was a kid and my dad grew it in the garden!
