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. |
