Will soon be a 'middle-class' food in the UK, like samphire. Here it is poor man's food!

It's only a coleslaw with knobs on Sel grin

Hmmmm vegasmags that mention of a 'wonderful remoulade' makes me suspect you're a better cook than me smile granjura my list of praise missed celeriac's versatility. As I'm singing it's praises to everyone (and some do look at me strangely) prices may rise so I will stock up grin

Celeriac has always been popular here in Switzerland. Both grated, for a salad, or in stews - and currently as a purée. Love it.

Good for you Sel grin I too am a great fan of this humble root. I like everything about it, from its rather spooky, brain like appearance, to the way it makes a wonderful remoulade and goes brilliantly mashed with swede.

I have just discovered celeriac - I've had it in restaurants I think but never bought it myself. I am so pleased to make this momentous discovery late in life - it tastes good, it's easy to cook, it lasts in the fridge for ages AND it's low in calories. It must be a slow week as I found this quite exciting grin
