I believe Mangel Wurzels were the middle-ages peasant food of choice (the choice being eat them or starve). I don't think I've ever seen one in real life.
AIUI, what we call a Turnip, the Brits call a Swede with the smaller purple version known as a Turnip, or Neep in Scotland ("Neeps & Tatties" being a traditional accompaniment to haggis)..
Had the pleasure of meeting him once in The Brehon Hotel in Killarney . He was giving a cooking demonstration. He was a very nice man RIP ..
No, I was talking about Japanese turnip dishes, not Thai.

I'd say it will be all irrelevant shortly, does anyone know any of the younger generation 20s/30s that will buy and cut up a turnip/swede, big yellow thing whatever you want to call it! I know in my own extended family they would all eat a feed of bacon/cabbage/turnip but I doubt any of them would actually buy a head of cabbage or full turnip and prep them, might buy the preprepared stuff if at all.

Difficult to know, but looking at the size of the brassica section in our local Dunnes these are still selling in large quantities. I'd imagine that as people become more aware of the consequences of a diet largely comprised of processed and ultra-processed foods the move to slow food and cooking with natural produce will gain further momentum.

Key Post - The Chemist Warehouse half the price of Healthwave!
I switched to Healthwave some years ago and they were about 60% of the price of my local pharmacy. Someone told me to check the The Chemist Warehouse and I was really shocked to find that they were less than half the price of Healtwave. Their website looks like a scam website and they don't...

A prescription I get costs about €4 locally. Picked up over the counter in NI the price is around £1.40, and it had been 58p just two years ago before all the recent inflation.
But how does that knowledge help save money? Also, the haggis is now an endangered species and I think posts encouraging hunting and eating them are irresponsible, whatever the accompaniment.

A very good way to save money is to skip off to the toilet when it's your turn to buy a round.
Do people actually hunt haggis? Not much of a challenge really?
And steal the toilet roll for home while you're there?
Make tea in a teapot.
My gran used to water down the household liquids: washing up liquid, fabric softener, bleaches etc. Not the concentrated one either.
Washing line. Same gran can't understand why you need a dryer!
Check out adverts/donedeal before shop purchases. Might have what you're looking for.

My tip is for tesco payg. My plan is 28 days and costs €15. I use tesco boost to buy this for €5.
Under this plan you can buy add ons. I wait until the day my plan is up and buy 5mb of data under the add on. I then use WhatsApp until that runs out or the plan is due foe renewal. I might have €5 in tesco voucher, if not I'll pay the full €15.
So I get 6 or 8 weeks out my phone for €5 some months.
Beat that.

It’s over 60s. If you’re borderline, they’ll give you the benefit of the doubt
