Only stab with a fork and cut lengthways but that isn't always easy. I'm told very young ones don't need peeling, just top cut off but haven't done that.
I have just been out with Dylan and on the way back, called in the Coop for a swede! I got one that was reduced to 30p. So tonight, it's roast pork, bubble and squeak and mashed swede. :-)
I have just cooked my singing swede and it turned out lovely - very tasty. No sore hands from peeling and chopping. As OH and I both love swede we will have it more often now. Thanks for the brilliant tip.
