No but you can buy normal potatoes and you can buy sugar  :)

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue. Isn't it parsnips that need a frost to bring the sweetness, rather than brussells?

They are definitely available and I have a massive one sitting in my veg drawer in the fridge to prove it.  All I now need to know is can I chop it up, blanch it for a few mins and freeze it and how long will it keep? I have never had frozen swede before.
