Maybe you had it mashed with carrots darling.

Swede has always been a creamy / whitish colour.

Im really thrilled you said swede. Most mistake them for turnips.

Maybe there were orangey breeds too.

I'm gonna check it out

Swedes and turnips change names depending on where in the country you are..

Over here.. they are bright orange and raw look like mangelwurzels

turnips are the smaller white ones

swedes are the larger brown/orange

if that helps

Swede is better looking compared with a celeriac, and I prefer the latter, grated, and mixed with mayo and French mustard, one of my favourite salad! Yum yum!!!

HUH? Swede at school was always organge. You could spot it a mile away and start coming up with an excuse as to why you didn't want it long before the server brought it to the table. Never seen so much orange colour in exactly the same place on 300 dinner plates before lol

I think there must be different varieties...... most are creamy white now.

I did say they are known as different things in different parts of the country

Check the wiki which explains it better than me

Thinking of it, if you peel it thinly then some of the flesh is whitish

If you attack it with.a carving knife and hack the skin of, the inside is orangeey

Boiled and drained, without a doubt orange mash
