Celeriac purée?

[rich p]

What a tosser.

You toss salads and cabers, not celeriacs.

Fennel ?

I don't like aniseed, so that one is out!

 

[Hill Wimp]

Fennel and potato soup

Hugh Farnley Whatsit does a great recipe.

Try lightly frying thinly sliced fennel, yellow pepper and leek with soy sauce then placing on either a paper or foil square and plonking a salmon steak on top with the chopped fennel 'fronds' and some chopped chives, scrunch into a parcel and bake at 180 for 20-25 mins.

That's the 3rd vegetable as-yet-untried by me to tempt me in the past couple of hours! Kale, chard, celeriac ... any others that I should add to my to-munch list?

Salsify? Scorzonera? And definitely Romanesco - looks astonishing and tastes superb

 

[growingvegetables]

I'd give the chard a miss tbh
Celeriac mash is great

You haven't tried chard on chickpeas in a tomato sauce? You haven't lived

I've never even heard of those ...

Salsify, Scorzonera ... 'oystery'. Oh, I don't like the sound of them!

Ah - Romanesco - those very odd-looking vegetables! I have seen them on sale but didn't know what they were. I'll give that veg a go.

Naaah - they don't taste like oysters. More like a fragrant potato, with a wee bit of crunch. Lovely stuff - but a pain to prepare.

Feel like a cauliflower in the mouth, but taste green and fresh. Gorgeous - cooked plain and lashings of butter.

Cream of celeriac soup is the bees knees. Especially when it's got a large bunch of parsley in it too.

Had a romanesco cauliflower earlier in the week. Nice enough, but would only ever buy in the reductions. Salsify and Scorzonera - best buy those canned as they're a swine to clean. I'm rather partial to globe artichokes, but again, best bought canned as there's a lot of waste and fiddlage when it comes to the whole ones.

Celeriac purée goes great with beef wellington, I had it in a restaurant last year. Bloody lovely it was!

 

[TVC]

A dollop of celeriac puree on a plate is a travesty, it has to be a swipe onto which other items are placed before dressing with fennel cress.

"The beef wellington was rubbery, waiter"
"Le chameau, sir?"
"No, the cow, silly"

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I have no idea what celeriac is.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

It's that stuff you eat in bed with a little mound of salt piled up in your belly button.

Them's chips

I still have not tried chicory (I see it often in Waitrose)
