No Potato

Right, so I am now a contributor on a food blog, I know this will bring great hilarity amongst my locals as my food is known to be a bit hit and miss, but at least I can try to shine here!

I haven't been able to find Becky's allotment for beetroot, so the borscht isn't on my list, but being allergic to potatoes I thought I would mention that

Parsnip
Turnip
Lentils
and Sweet Potato are excellent substitutes

The all contain less levels of starch than potatoes and make a delicious soup.

exactly the kind of thing I was after - thinking about food, you know? Thank you!

Interesting about potatoes - virtually all main meals I cook or choose have a direct carbhydrate source - potato, rice, pasta or bread. If I don't have one of those (i.e. have two non-potato portions of veg with my salad in the work canteen) I do feel a little unsated, although how much that is psychological rather than physical I don't know. Must try it more often, though.

PS - you'd need to look in Tottenham, although she's finished the beetroot now... ;-)
