Let me introduce to you, the swedish traditional autumn food. "Fläsklägg & Rotmos". 10 hours in the cooker made it perfect!

I had already been considering trying to make some of this (though probably in the Instant Pot), after seeing the appropriate ham hocks on sale pretty cheap. But, this post gave me another push! 😁
Besides that recent root vegetable heavy beef stew, I just used the other half of that chuck for a pot roast with the same veggies the other day. It wasn't all root vegetables; there was stalk celery in there too!
That kind of seasonal delight has been tasting particularly good to me lately, okay? 😊 It's so fresh and seasonal and cheap!
Not sure everyone in the house would be as enthused at the prospect of more turnips quite yet, however. Even in my best attempt at Proper Swedish Style this time. Minus any parsnips, because I do have some limits where root veggies are concerned.
(Not that this is really very different from the recent basic hillbilly pot roast, except for the type of meat and mashing the vegetables up together rather than just leaving them in big chunks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Blame the Scots way back, probably.)
Anyway, some guy making it on the stove:
