Celeriac fries

[Suky R]

I’ve done it when we’ve had celeriac that needed using, it didn’t notice at all! It went on the top of a cottage pie.

I don’t find the flavour of celeriac strong at all! And for me it has a flavour of its own, sort of celery-adjacent, but (for me) not as strong as celery can be, and lacks that slight sharpness/astringency I get from celery. I’m not even sure I think it tastes as strong as swede?

This thread started me on some celeriac research (it doesn’t take much to trigger my curiosity on a wet weekend).
Apparently, the flavour strengthens the longer the bulb/root stays in the soil. Younger, smaller celeriacs (is that the plural?) are not as strong.
As celery is one of the few things I would pick out of a casserole, maybe I am more sensitive to the flavour. I am not convinced it would be worth trialling a baby celeriac.

I'm also not a fan of the taste of celery I've tried many times to include it but failed liking it
I'm wondering if I would like celeriac as an alternative
I don't mind trying butternut can you make fries out of this

Actually I also don't find celeriac has a strong flavour. I often mix it with potato. It does make a somewhat sloppy mash, so a bit of potato firms it up. I'm not terribly keen on swede, though I'll eat it mashed with carrot.

Suky, try it and see how you like the fried.

It can be a sloppy as a mash up. Certainly not a “woody” in texture as it’s relative the celery. (Which I personally enjoy with a salad or in addition to a stew. Or a fish “chowder” we cooked the other night.)
They can also be cooked like this, which I’ve had. Quite nice. Prefer my meat with it all the same. https://www.rebelrecipes.com/roast-celeriac-steaks-with-salsa-verde/

Celery & celeriac can't stand both, strange as big veg & salad eater.

Massive fan of salad myself. Called a “hippy” in my youth by “dietitian” DSNs. Screw ‘em. I’m still here with everything working. I temper it with some meat based protein. Celery. If accompanied by nothing else. Needs for me, a little salt.

I make Celeriac chips in an air fryer. Works quite well, especially if rubbed with paprika beforehand.

I'm not the biggest fan previously but since diagnosed diabetic I have it twice a week add chicken or turkey....tried to make it appealing

Oh ok that's good to know actually
Will definitely give them a try ...will be appealing with some sort of seasoning

Don’t be afraid of some steak from you know who. (That moos.) I don’t believe it’s about low sat fat? Just the carbs.
If you find pork or beef appealing? Mix it up. Balance for satiety? & let your meter be your guide on the BG results. Look for your personal trends.

Here’s hoping.

Thank you that's nice advice
I am confused about what meats I can have
Chicken is my favourite so I play it safe by just having that

Go for chicken by all means. Not my place to tell you your taste.
Just (hopefully.) helping with suggestions.
If eating out? I ethically would not be holding a “gun” to the head.🙂

Any meat is fine, whatever you like, even high meat content sausages are low carb, you need variety otherwise you will soon get fed up of the same thing all the time.

Lool... definitely I would eat other meats but didn't know if there was any to avoid
