I like yellow squash and it holds up well when you cook it for a long time.  Not sure it'd replace potatoes for other people but I usually use it when something calls for them.

I love to read cookbooks and I am sure I'm not alone in reading recipes looking for things that are SCD legal. Well, I have found an interesting sounding one and want to ask about a substitution.This is from an old Woman's Day encyclopedia of cooking,

1966. Volume 6, page 939Soowar Ka Gosht Vindaloo (Sour Pork Curry)2 lbs lean pork, cut into 3/4 inch cubes1/2 cup vinegar4 medium onions, chopped1 tablespoon minced ginger (or 1.5 teaspons powdered)

1 tablespoon mustard seed1 teaspoon ground turmeric1/2 teaspoon cayenne1/4 cup oil1 cup chicken broth1 cauliflower (instead of Illegal: 6 potatoes)marinate meat in vinegar, onions, garlic and seasonings for at least

2 hours. Place in casserole with oil and broth. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. Add cauliflower (potatoes) and cook covered, another 30 minutes until everything is well done and tender. Add more broth if necessary.

serves 6OK, obviously we need something else besides the potatoes so that's why I thought of cauliflower. But I haven't tried it yet. I need a few opinions on whether this would work, cooking-wise, and also

flavor-wise. I think the basic stew sounds delicious though for myself I'd have to leave a couple of seasonings off. I suppose I could make it just as the meat and flavorings, too.

Amelia, Darlene,

Thanks for the ideas of celeriac and squash in the stew. I think both

would work better than cauliflower (which I love).
