Pumpkin and Jerusalem artichoke, can't believe its taken all this time to try them.
pumpkin was vif etamps and had it both roasted and as mash- roasted was delicious, mash didn't drain it enough so was a bit watery will try steaming it next time.
JA was lovely roasted, nice nutty flavour, mashed tasted like mashed neeps  - hope the after effects aren't too severe

Just tried ja at the weekend.    ::)yep, unfortunate side effects.  Have given some to my boss without telling this!     delicious!

Try roasting the pumpkin in large slices, skin on, then scraping out the flesh to mash. Much drier and the least effort too 

and I have managed to get rid of our JAs at last. Didn't like either the taste or the texture enough to give them plot room. I can get the occasional ones from plot neighbours should I want any.

Bu pumpkins and squashes are a staple for us


PS Snowy that was norty

Wish you lived closer because I just discovered this year that I'd accidentally planted a big stand of them 3 years ago thinking they were coreopsis. I have 2 carrier bags full that I can't seem to give away

Roast pumpkin does make delicious soup. In the summer I roasted a lot of my courgettes for soup and it gave it a lovely flavour
