Hoping not to offend any veggies or swedish people..;)

I ordered a box of organic veg..including a job lot of swedes which arrived yesterday..except they didn't!
I have a box of ten huge stinky celeriac! organic, stinky and very keen to remind me that they are related if only by smell to the original food of the devil.. celery:eek::eek::eek:

So..I couldn't possibly eat them..or contain them safely in my fridge as I'd never darken its door again..by the time I got home it was too late to do anything or contact the company, which is a small local family business so I feel quite bad about making a fuss... so am i able to feed them safely to my horses as i would a swede? I would drill holes & hang them to slow consumption..maybe use a few for giant conkers/missiles ..the usual..but keen to know if anyone else safely feeds them..and are sweet potatoes safe too? My goats love them but hate real potatoes..the goats & sheep also ran a mile at the smell of the celeriac..and if I made a celeriac stew for the dog who does love it, I've absolutely no room in my already bursting freezer.

And while you're here..what other oddities do you feed your horses occasionally? My lots love natural organic bio yoghurt, eggs and brown bread once in a while..any veggies I do give tend to be in a treat ball or chopped into feed or suspended as an edible passtime.

Surprisingly...offering celeriac to any who have helped...but also very real sugary cupcakes for those of you who are slightly better adjusted!:D

Sorry but how can you not like celeriac? ..... Delish.. Creamed celeriac yum....
As for horses sorry no idea whether they can eat it or not. Would presume so though.

ergh...its just the consuming smell..its the ONE food(grouping it as cellery) that I simply cannot do..I get a choking sensation from the smell if its even infront of me or on someones breath...just vile...:eek::eek::eek::eek: cake on the other hand...:D If they don't like it I might post it to both of you (and one to my Secret Snata for not replying on other thread!:cool:

To be fair..it is celery that is the offending veg..but because of the hint of celery in the smell, I simply can't even get it near my face! Mum put some celery in my new fridge once..which she ended up taking home with her...as in with the entire fridge. Hers had just died so i offered her to use mine(we were v near by then) so got home and before I'd even opened the fridge I just knew. I donated the entire fridge contents with it as I'd been away for two days so everything had morphed into celery smelling evilness...it was just easier to treat myself to a whole new fridge!...hmmmm devious Mum!wonder if this was the cunning plan... :D
 
My son is like this about cucumber. One whiff and he is gone... or could it be an excuse not to wash up with my aloe vera and cucumber detergent?

Hang some up and see if they eat it, bet they do!

My lot would eat bricks if I hung them up! (typical TBs any excuse to self harm!) I LOVE cucumber..I had a puppy once who smelt like cucumbers,a nice delicate fresh scent..close my eyes & its like I'm 12 again!:)
 
Celeriac is amazing but I love celery also... Sweetcorn though EURGH! I take it you ordered the Swedes for the horses? Would probably be best to point it out to the company, I always think even if you don't mind you could be saving them from some fire breathing celeriac hater who would kick off about it!

Yes they were all ordered for me, the dog, horses, sheep & goats..mostly for the horses..swedes are a firm favourite for all..I only ordered one celeriac but solely for the dog..I usually cook it up into whatever stew he is having & freeze it in portions so I don't have to smell it...but its usually a small one about apple sized not ten hooooooooooooooooumungous ones!.. I will mention it to them..but gently..I'm normally very much a fire breather when pushed..tho I'll be limiting the breathing bit this time because of the danger of breathing it in!:D:D:D
