You know what's underappreciated?
Root vegetables.
Everyone likes potatoes, so they're not really underappreciated. And onions, too. And carrots, of course. They're the Big Three. But it's the others that don't get the recognition they deserve. Turnips. Rutabagas. Parsnips. Beets. You take a bunch of those and cook them up in the oven, and you've got a tasty and nutritious side dish with very little effort. Seriously, parsnips can roll with the best of them. You can't beat a good batch of parsnips, but in truth the four of them are more like a quartet. You can have a good tenor, a good alto, a good bass, and a good soprano, but it's when you cook them all up together that you really get that harmony that makes you tap your feet. Root vegetables. If you haven't had them, do so tonight. They're available at your nearest grocer. |

If you don't put Rutabaga in with your beef pot roast you evidently are an idiot and are wasting oxygen.

I don't believe that I've ever seen a "Parsnip," let alone consumed one.

I just looked them up. Yes, I've had them and they make me vomit.

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.

I like turnips but they smell better while boiling than they taste.

I'm personally offended that radishes weren't listed.
