- Not being able to walk in the Dales any more. Not being able to eat some of my favourite foods any more.
Stick them in a stew to thicken the gravy instead of flour or arrowroot.I assume you mean these.....
Do you have a cunning plan how to cook them?
Didn't know this - really useful (and I like them both!)Celeriac and swede are notable exceptions to the root-veg rule. And celeriac makes fantastic mash!
Correct.Scallions = spring onion?
I can't eat onions because they spike my BS. I have also (for the last 2 years) been severely limiting olives (which absolutely love) because I thought they were so high carb. Yesterday I actually looked at the label on the jar and was shocked to find they were ultra low carb. How could I have been so wrong.Oh dear - I have not considered that onions were relatively high carbs, as a root vegetable. Silly me! I see that a small onion is about 7 or 8 grams of carbs, and I regularly have been eating a whole small onion as part of a big breakfast. How depressing! I now need to portion control onions...
But thanks all for letting me know! Not sure how I missed this previously... wanton ignorance probably!

What don't you like about cauli mash? Taste or texture?Provided I can find celeriac here, does it make better mash than cauliflower does? I have tried cauliflower mash and it doesn't work for me.
Finally managed to remember to buy some turnips to try. I was going to do jacket turnip but they were very small so just peeled and halved and put in with the roast chicken. Very good, will do them again but maybe roast separately with some parmesan and herbs. I am a big fan of swede, especially mashed, but thanks for introducing me to turnips as an alternative, I have only ever had them in stew before.I did a jacket turnip today, was really good!
Fried grated cauliflour, subtly spiced, makes a reasonable rice substitute with a curry.What don't you like about cauli mash? Taste or texture?
