I never ate celeriac til two years ago when I was given some plants. Now I'm hooked  :shock:  It's lovely and the soup it makes is fab.  I made some celeriac, smoked bacon and mushroom, with cream stirred in at the end. Luvly     The foliage goes in too but not too much cos it's very strong

* to peel though

Anyone seen any plants for sale - like at garden centres or plant stalls at garden fetes etc?

I'm with Purplebean on celeriac.  No vegetable stew tastes as good if it doesn't have a copious amount of celeriac (and swedes, parsnips, turnips etc).

I used to get it in organic veg boxes when I took them (before a local shop opened) - very nice but the skin is lumpy and hard to scrub clean, a bit like that Thai fisherman that developed horrible warts all down his hands and arms ...

It goes really well in a tray of mixed roast root veg and I adore it in 3 veg mash with potato and carrot and finish off with a grated cheese topping and under the grill.

Now you've gone and made me hungry and it's well passed my bedtime :roll:

Hi all,
          For scribbler`s information, Homebase had them about a Month ago. I bought a tray of 10 for £1.99p (I think) Whether  they still have any, I don`t know. Mine are growing away really well.
 I have grown them from seed before, but they are a nuisance as they need to be started early, & kept in from the cold until the end of May before planting out. Much easier to buy them as grown on plants.

I grew mine from seed and had loads! I could have given some to you guys who wanted some but i gave most of my spare wasy to my mum and sister.. sorry  

Only problem i have now is where to put them! I have no room left on my small home plot.. do you thinnk a large pot would suffice for now until i find more room? They are only tiddlers at the mo..

I grew celeriac last year and the biggest one was only the size of a tennis ball. It is also nice roasted, but I agree makes a good soup - I made a lot of celeriac and squash soup. Also it is good grated into coleslaw, it doesn't taste so strong raw though.
