I get to be in charge of the sprouts this year.  Yay!

Thus mine will be firm and tasty, whilst Nita will be enjoying the delights of Sprout Sludge - any leftovers from which will be sprayed on the garden to keep cats away.   :ack:

You sure you don't want to rephrase that.  :devil:

I really don't like parsnips or any of that kind of vegetables.  Cabbage and sprouts are great!

Parsnips are like Marmite, you love them or hate them. I'm in the former camp for both, but in the formerly former camp for the former.

I wouldn't be half the man I am today without having the odd parsnip.

Red cabbage is flavourless.  Other cabbages are lovely, but red cabbage is a complete waste of a chopping board, if you ask me.

Parsnips are gorgeous!  I've just finished preparing mine a la Blessed Delia, par boiled and coated with a mix of flour and parmesan.  They'll sit quite happily in the fridge until tomorrow.

His Lordship bought a pound of chestnuts yesterday and it's taken me hours to peel them.  Next year will be different.

Just gotta add my love for sprouts... looking forward to tomorrow as I've not found any good ones over in Calgary yet.

Sue usually works some magic on it in the cooking, tastes good by the time itt reaches me. She also does a white cabbage an onion dish which is a nice mix of flavours.

Is there any other way to cook parsnips? ;)
