As for the last bit.... you learned about the 'rind of Parmesan' here, Elly told us and used it in her Tomato soup recipe. She removed the piece of rind at the end of cooking. Even I was able to manage eating it, I had the flavour without actual cheese. Magpie,

Then again the best Cheddars are best with a thick piece of wholemeal bread. How about using remainders of all sorts, grate them up and pop them in! I think it's like cooking with wine....always use the best you can afford for the best results.... Apparently the rind of Parmesan is good for "Just putting into a pasta sauce". I'll check that out tho'.

Yes they sound nice, in fact any left over vegetable can be finely chopped or mashed into the mixture to add variation. @WWW - When I was setting up this recipe I wondered about adding a few variations... and then decided that the comments would do that for me. Thank you all, I have a recipe for every day of the week now! :D @Kirk M - Carrots!

A little bit of cream cheese and sourcream in the mash - I know about your dairy issues, GM but others might enjoy, it really adds to the smoothness. XO WWW Do you know what’s superb with these?

Fine...now I'm hungry.
