It’s quite easy - get a bag of frozen, slightly defrost and then they pop out easily. I use this and add them into a mackerel dish I do (with chorizo, red onion and baby potato.)

You're right on the okra. Go to a fancy restaurant to try kohlrabi, chefs are all over it these days. Because it's delicious.
I saw that Sat Bains had made 'linguine' from this cursed veg. But I will endeavour to try it again and report back with findings. Although I will insist on a refund from you and BTR if I am disappointed.

I think what the English call a swede is what the Scots and Irish call a turnip. And vice versa.
Not sure if I know the difference either but a Scot turning down any root vegetable sounds like a wrong’un.
And you’re rejecting spinach and beetroot!!? You’re dead to me, Harry.
Nope. Swede and turnip are different. The former is yellow and about the size of a very small head - the latter about the size of a tennis ball and is purple and white.
The scottish neeps and tatties refer to turnips.They were gtown mainly as a crop to feed livestock over the winter so as to not have to slaughter them in the autumn.... hence salt beef and ham.

That list actually looks like a fine table full of food.
That would make a lovely spread.
And there's even some celery there to prop under any table legs to counter any wonkiness.
Listen, celery gets my 100% backing as it's an essential for a mirepoix. I have no idea what makes it essential but it is. On its own, it's foul. But the culinary gods have deemed it a necessary evil.
And don't put it in my Bloody Mary.

Mire poix, yes. Sauces yes.
The cheat's curry sauce, yes.
As you say, raw is a no no.
I wonder if it keeps cats off the garden though. It must deter mustn't it.
I do grow lovage which can admittedly smell a bit like it uncooked, but it's not so offensive.

Unless you were abused by vegetables I don’t see the problem.
Even celery is a special bit of texture and a subtle taste that brings out the flavour in everything else.
I realise that I’m sounding like a far-left vegetarian here but you’ve got to see the greater good.
