butternut quash and swede

[cecil39]

i have just tried butternut squash and swede mashed together with some butter and salt, never had it before, it was really good, is this a known thing? or something new?

It's a known thing cecil39, in fact it was outlawed by the UN in 1964 as a chemical weapon.
My own dear wife makes a soup with butternut squash, garlic, chilis and tomatoes. It is currently before the committee.
Enjoy! :)

My gran used to make mash using carrots and swede - it was called potch!

Oooh it's not new here, I have it quite a lot instead of mashed potato. It's delish. You can add carrot too which is lovely.

nagging my brother (who is a farmer) to grow a decent tasting swede. They used to be mustardy-hot and flavourful - I used one the other day when I was making traditional Cornish Pasties and it tasted of nothing! don't like squash or sweet potatoes I'm afraid, they're far more popular than 10 years ago - but not for me!
