AIBU to not use milk!

[Deyes999]

Whilst making roast today I was happily mashing the swede with butter and pepper when DH came in took over and added loads of milk to the swede! In 25 years I have never added milk to mash swede but he said I should have been. Do any of you add milk?

Not to swede. Maybe a bit of butter and pepper.
Milk/cream and butter in potato mash!

Just butter & pepper here. Milk would make it mushy, surely?

Eeew why would anyone put milk in it?

I often finish off the cooking of the swede in a bit of milk before mashing just so it doesn't get too waterlogged.
Only add butter salt and pepper when mashing though.

But if you normally make the mash then he obviously likes it without milk if he's been eating it until now?

Exactly. He has been eating it without milk for 25 years!

Ooh no , in potato mash yes but not in swede

Did he think it was mashed potatoes? I put milk in mashed potatoes but only butter in swede.

No he knew it was swede

The man's an animal. Leave him

I don't to swede, sweet potatoes or any other root veg, but I do to normal mashed potatoes.
