> [@Tethered\_Kite](#): > > I realized I didn’t know much about the eating habits of the noble Scots Neither do I 😃 But the only place I’ve been served mashed rutabaga outside of Scandinavia was in Scotland. As a side dish to haggis. Don’t know how authentic it was, but the persons who served the stuff definitely spoke with a Scottish accent (I had some slight problems understanding every word they said, even before the whisky kicked in…) ¨ And the haggis wasn’t nasty, I’ve eaten similar stuff (though _sans_ the sheep’s stomach) outside of Scotland 🆒 ---

Put some butter, salt, and pepper on 'em and gobble 'em up. I can’t get enough of them. This is how my mom does it. I add a touch of gravy to mine and yum! ---

Put some butter, salt, and pepper on 'em and gobble 'em up. I can’t get enough of them. This…most definitely this. And if you’d like to look up the shepherds pie thread that is doing the rounds can I suggest that a layer of the above immediately below the layer of mashed spud is a match made in heaven. Or should that be a “mash” made in heaven?..aha ha aha ahah…aha…ha…ha ah, sod yer then. ---

> [@3waygeek](#): > > There’s a British dish called _swede_ that’s basically a mash of rutabaga & carrot. I’ve had it a couple times; I’m not sure I’d call it tasty, but it’s less nasty than many stereotypically British foods I’ve tried. whoah! lets not down the “lazy stereotype of national cuisine” shall we? You aren’t exactly blameless yourself are you. ---

Ooh, I just remembered: Cubed, in thepressure cooker, with some apple cider, basic pumpkin pie spices, minced fresh garlic and a chopped vidalia (sweet) onion. Might as well sear a few pork chops first and throw them in too. . . [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tasty-rutabaga-recipe/562587.md?page=1)
