Latest post of the previous page:
Yes in England we call neeps swede, not just London although I can't speak for the North East or Cornwall.
Yes they are much nicer fresh and yes they are hard to cut up.
Yes I like roast parsnips too.
I think the health visitors etc will try to tell wimmin to eat vegetables during pregnancy can't say it worked on my kids though.
Sometimes one likes different foods because of one's moods or the weather. Sometimes it is due to being ill or pregnant when if you don't eat coal then frozen spinach or vinegary cockles can be very tempting.
By the way its wombyn, or wimmin unless you speak welsh.

I know that you're not supposed to do it and I know that it robs the veg of much of its nurtritional content but - I have to confess that I do like veg very, very well cooked. I am the same with pasta
. I like it cooked till it's bloated and soggy, not 'al dente.' I don't like my veg still crunchy :(

Hiya Moose,
Moose
I have to confess that I do like veg very, very well cooked.
Moose, you can parboil your veg, or even use them raw, as I said earlier, once through the blender you can't tell.
From an earlier post.
I make vegetable soup, I always put in carrots, tatties, and neeps, the rest of the ingredients are just whatever veg I happen to have in, after it's been through the blender I'm sure you would have no trouble getting bairns to eat it, they would have no idea what was in it unless you told them.
If you take "lightly" boiled/steamed/or even raw veg and put it through a blender, you get a good wholesome soup, without the "crunchiness" of "undercooked" veg but still with all the goodness, vitamins etc. Try it and see.

IIRC, when I was a kid, I only liked sprouts if they were grossly over-cooked. Now, however, they have to be crunchy!

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

My mum used to make lanterns for Halloween out of large swedes. We'd never heard of pumpkins. The bits she hollowed out of the middle were mashed with carrots and butter.
Thank you for this thread. It's made me laugh on an otherwise very serious day.

Excuse me, but how is this pronounced? Is it like 'rut a bugger'... 'rut a badger'...'root a bagger'?

Hello South Park.
A couple of items I sent don't seem to be on the forum. Maybe they were just too annoying to leave on!

When you get to my age one has fewer dente to eat with. I used to like my vegetables raw though.
I see someone spells wimmin and wombyn as womwn I think he is Welsh.

Nice to know they did. I see we have South Park fans on here.

I just don't like raw veg, unless they are salad veg
. I don't like foods which are .. crunchy. Plus veg seem to me to totally lack flavour if they are raw or undercooked whereas if they are overcooked it seems to me that you can taste the flavours more. That might be just me tho!

Sorry for the slow response to your question, Autumn, but I only just saw your post. My American wife is sitting right next to me and she tells me that rutabaga is pronounced, RUDE-uh-BAY-guh. That's how a real American would say it! Bear in mind that my real American comes from Montana and someone from Texas might put a different slant on it.

Hehe I can just hear that accent
My mum asked if we wanted ruderbaygers (swedes) for Xmas dinner but I regretfully declined on the grounds that I am on a diet and that I like my ruderbaygers mashed with lots of butter.

Did the diet survive the xmas and New Year onslaught?
