    Food: Vegetables as described by Nigel Slater

    2 points for every correct answer

    1 “Sweet as sugar, still steaming from the water or smoking from the grill, BLANK needs
    instant attention – especially when the butter runs down its knobbly shaft”
    SWEETCORN/CORN ON THE COB

    2 “Hot, crunchy, irresistible. A quick dunk in cold water if I can be bothered, each one wiped
    with my thumb if not. The home-grown ones seems hotter, but that could just be my
    imagination.”
    RADISH

    3 “Short of a tray of damsons, I can think of nothing that marks our journey into autumn quite
    like the sight of a proper BLANK.”
    PUMPKIN

    4 “There has been a BLANK in the bottom of the fridge for longer than I care to say. It has
    been quietly watching me, probably wondering when it was going to get its 15mins of fame.
    Once the purple pride of my shopping bag, it now sits and haunts me as surely as an
    unposted thank you letter.”
    RED CABBAGE

    5 “I really must use the BLANK. It is starting to haunt me. I dispute its description as the ugly
    one, and finds its ivory skin, the crown flashed with pale green and freckles of brown,
    rather beautiful when freshly dug.”
    CELERIAC

    6 “BLANK is invariably treated as a one trick pony, inevitably lumped with roast beef or
    smoked fish. It deserves more. Broad-minded greengrocers aside, it is getting difficult to
    buy BLANK.”
    HORSERADISH

    7 “The impressive BLANK, whose frilly plumes and take-no-prisoners’ earthiness makes it my
    favourite of the winter greens.”
    KALE

    8 “A roast BLANK, deepest gold, jolly hot, and with its edges all sticky and mahogany-
    coloured, is almost my favourite bit of the Sunday roast. There are several bits of folklore
    about BLANK, from the inevitable tales of aphrodisiac qualities that seem to apply to any
    remotely phallic ingredient, to the more disturbing stories of old woody specimens
    inducing madness.”
    PARSNIP

    9 “The gnarly tubers, roasted with thyme and lemon, made into cups of deepest ivory soup, or
    cut as thin as a butterfly’s wing, kept me warm throughout last month’s trip to Finland.”
    JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE

    10 “On a hot day in the kitchen, there is much pleasure to be had in sniffing the freshly-cut
    edge of a fridge cool BLANK.”
    CUCUMBER

    Chocelebs
