aren't Swedes great?

There is no food I hate as much as swede, when I was a kid in school it was a staple of school dinners. There was very little 'nice' food in the years after the war and school dinners were not much better than animal scoff. The nastier teachers would stand over me and force me to eat the evil stuff and as they walked away I would vomit it all back on the plate. I swore if I ever came across that sadistic bastard Hepple when I left school I'd kick the shit out of him. Happily I heard he died early in a motoring accident. I like to think he was run over by a farm tractor towing a trailer filled with swedes.

swede is lovely boiled and mashed with carrots, butter and cracked black pepper...

agree totally Liana, mmmm, that could be my receipe for the next few weeks. The eggy bread fed me for about that long. Can you be ready with another soon please?

*gags*

are you asking us to think of a few, Missi? Stephen, Flash and Justyn do the best ones.

are you sure it wasn't turnip George? another lovely vegetable.

Felicity, i'm sure there's a way to make grass into quite a tasty meal. i will practice and get back to you on it. maybe it's as simple as adding a bit of ginger, or some other delicacy.

I know I look a bit rustic, Tan, but I assure you I know the difference between a turnip and a swede. For starters a turnip runs a disco in Manchester and a swede is that horrible orange round thing that cows eat. Flick, you keep on and I'll Tan your arse. There's a perfect way to make a meal from grass by the way. What you do is feed it to a cow for 2 years, shoot the cow and take a large slice of it's arse, fry lightly on both sides and serve with chips and mushrooms.

I'm a big fan of raw sweede. It reminds me of halloween from my childhood when we used to hollow out sweedes instead of pumpkins and eat half of then in the process.

I like em mashed with a wee bit of butter. Etheopia...how exotic

>> Etheopia...how exotic << Jude, I'm ashamed of you. That is SO upper-class as to be obscene. 90% of Ethiopians are starving to death, and you think it's exotic!

it is a beautiful and exotic country though terribly ravished by poverty drought and famine. poverty does not eliminate beauty and no I can't spell

oooh Have you been to Heethehopiah Jude?
