I've never eaten celeriac, but was wondering is it a good vegetable to have
with a sunday roast?

What vegetable can it be compared with, and what is best way to prepare and
cook it?

Does it have a distinctive taste?

Sorry I can't tell you about the taste but here's some information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeriac

"Celeriac may be roasted, stewed, blanched, or mashed. Sliced celeriac
occurs as an ingredient in soups, casseroles, and other savory dishes."

Allegedly it tastes a lot like celery. So if you like celery, sounds
like it might work well with your Sunday roast.

It tastes of celery. Celeriac mash is good as is a gratin with layers of
potato alternating with celeriac.
The following recipe is superb:

By the way, from my ISP the connection takes nearly a minute to go through
some service called "wunderloop".

Sounds like celery too but looks completely different. I've eaten celery
cold as part of a cheese board and it was ok.

I like celery, raw or cooked, however celeriac tastes like celery but
has a very different texture that I don't like, kinda like the texture
of cooked rutabagas.

It is! I've served it at dinner parties and it has gone down well.

As others have also said, it apparently tastes similar to celery. But
it's a bulb, a root vegetable, so naturally it won't have the same
texture. The wiki link indicates you can roast it, and since you're
planning a Sunday roast, if you have celeriac, give it a try.

I thought that but I use ESET on a daily basis and it includes anti-spyware.
I also use Spybot.
Wunderloop only appears on that BBC site and one UK newspaper. Perhaps they
are using the service.

I have been using Adblock + but for some reason Ghostery wasn't running so I
re-loaded it. I've just gone to both sites with no problem.
Thanks for your advice!
