Veg?

[Svejk]

is the one that turns orange/yellow a swede. And do you cook it just like mash(potatoes) I've done all those 'root' vegetables in a stew but just fancy some mashed. I think you can buy it ready cooked, is that any good?

[mrs_overall]

Morning sweaty.
We women have fairly strong wrists from chopping veg and turning the handle on the mangle

[Tilly2]

Swede is white, turnip is orange.
Stew without mashed potato and turnips? Unthinkable. No dumplings for me 'cos I don't want to be one.

[Svejk]

I think turnips are white and swede is orange. (when cooked) but I'm not sure.
I put spuds and root veg into my stew so I couldn't have mashed potatoes etc. with it.
Nothing wrong with a bit of 'meat' on a gal, imo, tilly. ;o)

[ummmm]

Swedes are orange.

I steam them and mash them with butter and lots of black pepper....

[ummmm]

Tilly...are you in Scotland?

[EcclesCake]

I love swede, the orange root, mashed with lots of butter and pepper or may be some nutmeg.

I have never cooked a stew and never will but the thought of having it with mash makes me want to heave.

[Tilly2]

Never cooked a stew? You don't know what you're missing, Eccles. each to their own, however.

Ummmm, no not in Scotland but I think turnip/swede is a dialect thing for my area.

[ummmm]

I'm not keen on stew either.

[Tilly2]

How are stews different from casseroles? One on the hob, the other in the oven?

[ummmm]

Yes, basically. A casserole though has got it's name from the pot it was cooked in.

[Svejk]

a casserole is a bird. You ought to know that, tilly. ;-/

[Tilly2]

Well I do my stews and casseroles in my slow cooker, so the name is interchangeable. I thought it was a marmite......the dish, I mean.

Cassowary casserole anyone?

[Svejk]

I've made hundreds of stews but never made a casserole. I once bought a load of those sachets that flavour casseroles but had to chuck them out. I'll tap you up;-) for a recipe in the winter, tilly.x

[Tilly2]

okey dokey, sweety. Just let me know in advance, so that I can perfect it.

Why did you throw the sachets away?

[Svejk]

they were like my chat-up lines, tilly, out of date. x

[Tilly2]

.....and full of rubbish! ;-)

[Svejk]

you've got it, cariad. ;o)

[Tilly2]

................but with a little piquancy.
