You cut them into small chunk/slices, put some olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper on them, and then put them in the oven at about 400 degrees until they're not crunchy.

Mmmm.

No, I'm serious. I never knew what they were called but they make me sick. They taste awful. As soon as I saw the picture (like a white carrot), I remembered. Haven't had one since I was a boy.

Neutral on beets, like all the rest, huge fan of the radish.

Your palate may not have been sophisticated enough to appreciate them as a child. You should try them again and not vomit afterwards, and see what you think.

My intent was not to belittle your knowledge of tubers or root veggies, I just happen to be partial to the ones I posted.

When I was a kid I lived in Puerto Rico and we were dirt poor. Several times a month we would go to my great grandmothers house and dig up those particular roots, boil them up, and eat them with salt and butter.

Good times.

If I had just opened this thread without reading it I'd have thought someone had clipped off Skip's nads.

Yeah right. Bah!

Blisters developed after exposure to wild parsnip and sunlight.

They taste about the same as a carrot. I always use them when I make chicken noodle soup. Good stuff.

Other than the sweet potato and yam, I wasn't familiar with them. It'd be interesting to try them. I'd also like to try cassava some day since it's all over the place in Africa. I've never seen it here, though.

Good thread, just got done eating mashed potatoes that the wife made. She uses red potatoes, leaves the peels in, and adds onions, tomatoes and jalapenos :)

Speaking of the pond, where did all of that water come from? Rainman? Anybody?

I like mine sauteed with carrots.

I'm also a huge fan of the turnip greens. I'll be making a pot of those for New Years.

I'm exactly the same, execpt I'm not a fan of radish at all. When I was a little kid I loved beets, but now I'm neutral towards them.

Thank you. That sounds good. I think the only time I ever had them before, they were boiled and really soggy

The dinosaurs had the hose running when the meteor hit. It was another 64 million years before humans evolved to turn it off. Huge waste of water.
