Swede (rutabaga) is a very tasty vegetable. This carrot swede mash (The Veg Space) is super simple to make, and makes a nice change from white potatoes.
Before cooking, read up on food safety for people & pets (nutmeg often served with swede is unsafe near animal friends). Don’t feed salted/buttered mash to pets, garden birds or wildfowl.
