Fair to say whatever small chance we had of getting top 4 is now gone.

Not allowed potatoes this month. I'm living on beans, sweet potatoes, wholemeal pasta and brown rice.

Fúck my luck.

I can't believe you're actually eating wholemeal pasta. It's a betrayal of food.

Sweet potatoes are alright, but halfway through eating them and thinking 'these aren't too bad, actually', one remembers that they still aren't potatoes and are in fact a pïsspoor substitute for same.

I haven't actually succombed to the pasta yet. Thank God February is a short month, I might get away with only having it once or twice.

Roast chicken with broccolli, cabbage and carrt and swede mash sounds ok, doesn't it? Until you peer into the gravy boat and remember that there are no spuds to soak it up

In my experience of this, you will eventually tire of trying to find decent potato substitutes because there simply aren't any. Squash, sweet potato, parsnips, swedes - all ultimately shīte because what you actually want is potato and they simply cannot match up.

Much better to go the bean/lentil route and do something more interesting with those in lieu of potatoes.

Lentils or beans are the usual choice tbh.

I do a rather nice baked bean type thing with haricots, lardons, sage, bayleaf, tomato, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, chicken stock that would almost - almost - make you forget that there aren't any fecking spuds.

I made a quite stunning beef Bourgogne Sunday night served with the finest mash I have ever made. My ungrateful children moaned and Mrs WES claimed it was 'very good but over-seasoned'. Ingrates.

First time I have ever boiled the potatoes with the skins I had just removed, not sure if that's why it was so good.
