NEWER VEGETABLE OF THE MONTH

The newest (and best) vegetable of the month is...

THE POTATO!!!

Although celeriac is quite delicious (so I'm told), my favourite vegetable of all time is THE POTATO!!!, and seeing as I'm alone in the office and there's no one here to stop me, I've decided it should be the new vegetable of the month. So it is. Hurrah!

For more information on THE POTATO!!! please see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato

NEW VEGETABLE OF THE MONTH!

In a surprise over-turning of the previous winner, the carrot, Interesting to nobody are proud to announce that there is an all new vegetable of the month.................


CELERIAC!


Why, might you ask would we deprive the carrot of this honour? Well, for the following reasons:

Celeriac has all the flavour of celery (and come on, we all love celery don't we?) but the appeareance of 'a rough, creamy brown turnip'. Doesn't that sound just delicious?!

Also, celeriac is known sometimes as 'turnip-rooted celery' or 'knob celery'. I don't know about you, but my mouth is watering just typing this.

But reader beware, if you are planning to sample this exquisite vegetable, be sure to buy small to medium firm bulbs that feel heavy for their size as larger bulbs can be 'woody'. I think we all know what thats about.

Up yours carrot!!

This side of interesting

Are we feeling September-y? Sept of course from the Latin septem meaning seventh. How are enjoying the 7th month of the Roman year? Gregorian?? Nonsense. In fact on the 2nd September in 1752, Britain adopted the Gregorian calendar for the first time, declaring the next day September 14th. People protested on the streets, demanding their 11 days back.

September's flower is morning glory *insert innuendo here*.

September's vegetable, this year, is of course the carrot, and did you know that September and December always start on the same day? So Dec 1st will be a Monday too... Check your Sasco Academic Year Planner if you don't believe me (Other brands of wall planner, diary, calendar, sundial will do).

September's prestigious Vegetable of the Month Award goes to....


THE CARROT

Yes, that VitaminA-packed, orange-fleshed miracle that often graces our plates has beaten all other vegetables to become interestingtonobody's very first Vegetable of the Month. Try it raw dipped in taramasalata or cooked, in your squirrel stew. Try grating it into a carrot cake (not advisable with the carrot's feisty cousin, the parsnip) or make yourself some juice or jam. These reasons and literally a few more are why the carrot reigns supreme. For now.

Please begin your campaign for your favourite vegetable so you can see it as October's... Vegetable of the Month.
