11. Scallop turnips and fry them in bacon grease with onions...

when the turnips are brown smother them until tender. Add crumbled bacon and sour cream. :)

3. I do, I put them in a gratin with potatoes

It's great for Thanksgiving. :shrug:

[Modem Butterfly]

5. You're so going to hell for that one

What's wrong with parsnip? Potatoes aren't good enough for you? Huh? Huh? You know, when I was your age, we walked six miles in the snow, uphill and against the wind both ways, with only baked potatoes in our pockets to keep us warm. And we liked it that way! We didn't need any of your fancy tubers!

6. Freeper

You clearly have something against French recipes! :grr:

20. Parsnips are pretty good

once you run out of turnips and all the other good root vegetables.

7. Oh Boy

Growing up dirt poor my favorite meal consisited of pinto beans -we called them soup beans - mashed potatoes and TURNIP greens. And if we were lucky enough to find some we seasoned those greens with apple cider vinegar and tabasco sauce. Of course with corn bread, 'maters, onions and whatever else the good earth provided.

9. The tops are okay, but the bottoms aren't fit for man 'nor beast

They make the pigs fart up a storm!


Actually, beets do. I have some experience with this.

13. Propaganda! Turnip roots are good for you...

I never heard of them making the pigs fart any worse than other foods.

18. I can stand turnip roots

diced in little chunks, as a "seasoning" for the greens. I'm inclined to agree with you on this one.

12. That's down home country food!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. NABO! So THAT's how they're called in English!

Mmmmmm. Veggie soup. Gotta have turnip. Me like. :9

[peekaloo]

10. Me love the turnip. Nature's laxative.

Beets, too!

[bertha katzenengel]

15. in the past turnips have kept many a starving person alive around the

world.

16. You must be thinking of potatoes

Potatoes save lives. Most people, on the other hand, are deathly allergic to turnips. They even try to warn you off with their taste and color! Nature's way of saying "Stay away!"

;)

[BikeWriter]

23. No, they're correct. It happened in WWI, too...

By the winter of 1917, the supply of potatoes had run out and the only real alternative was turnips. This is why the winter of 1916 to 1917 is known as the "Turnip Winter".

[Modem Butterfly]

When I was a child in Scotland we used to carve turnips just as people do with pumpkins!
