So is it sort-of like swede, then, which I often mix with mash?
In texture, yes a bit, but different flavour - slightly (as the name suggests) celery flavoured, and also (if I remember correctly) a little aniseedy.
Mmm, still thinking about tonight. If I did the chicken kiev thing (assuming I can cook it from frozen, I could do it with cous cous, and do more than I need and have that for lunch tomorrow....
Or rice.
I know what'll happen, I'll just do something random when I get in. Left to my own devices (oh, I am!) I'd have pasta almost every night, with various sorts of sauce. Seems to suit the Italians. I don't think my Mum approves, she's the sort to plan all her meals for the week (a very good idea) in order to use up half tins of this or that, but in different meals - one with pasta, one rice, one potatoes, a soup.... I'll just do the same meal three nights running!
