Celeriac. Endless possibilities as can be used in the same way as potatoes, but lower in carbs.

All veg is great if cooked the right way, I hated it at school always boiled to death no taste just a soggy grey mush on the plate.

Fortunately my mum wasn’t bad at the old veg nothing adventurous mind but the usual staples found on the market in the 70s and 80s.

One thing I couldn’t abide as a kid was celery most salads in fact now love it and tomatoes which I know is technically a fruit.

I like Romanesco, it’s green but is related to cauliflower, is also much smaller. It’s not widely available, I see it in Lidl mostly when it’s in season. I also like cauliflower & tenderstem broccoli. Purple broccoli is quite tasty too

Callaloo.

It's delicious and appetising.

Comes from the same plant family as spinach. It tastes similar, but the taste is much stronger and more defined.

If you like spinach but think it just tastes a bit too subtle and mild, you'll definitely like callaloo.

The root of the plant (also known as 'Dashheen' and 'Taro') is also a valuable food source but despite the claimed family connection, I am not aware of anyone using the root of spinach.

Down there there's a plant that grows out in the woods, and the fields

And it looks somethin' like a turnip green

Everybody calls it polk salad

Used to know a girl lived down there and she'd go out in the evenings and

Pick her a mess of it

Carry it home and cook it for supper

Sliced red cabbage lightly fried with a couple of garlic cloves, butter and a dash of olive oil once it has softened slightly add some balsamic vinegar and grated nutmeg and let it steam with a lid on the pan cook until the liquid reduces and it becomes slightly crispy and serve.
