 For the Mash: Peel and cut the celeriac into chunks, cover and
 cook in lightly salted water until tender. At the same time in
 another pan, cook the potatoes. When cooked, drain well and dry
 out a little by placing the pan on a gentle heat.

 Mash the celeriac and potatoes together, add the butter and enough
 milk to reach a consistency that you like - adjust the seasoning
 with salt and pepper.

 For the Devilled Sauce: Melt 1oz butter in a small pan, add the
 onion, carrot, celery, bay leaf and thyme, and stir with a wooden
 spoon until slightly brown. Add the tomato puree, cook for two
 minutes and add the stout.

 Let the sauce bubble until reduced by a good half. Add the vinegar
 and pepper and reduce further. Add the brown stock and simmer for
 15-20 minutes.

 Strain the sauce, return to the pan and correct the seasoning with
 the pepper and wholegrain mustard. Finish the sauce with the knob
 of butter.

 For the Black and White Pudding: Slice the black and white
 puddings at an angle into 1" pieces. Heat the oil and butter in a
 frying pan or dry fry in a griddle pan. Fry the slices until
 golden and thoroughly heated through.

 To serve: Make the mash into a cake in the centre of each plate
 and sit the slices of pudding on top. Garnish with a few sprigs of
 lovage or parsley leaves. Spoon the sauce around the outside of
 the plate and serve at once.
