The older I get the more my food tastes change. I have recently rediscovered turnips. Tasty, but dang it all. They take forever to cook the way my mother does it down south. Seems there wouldn't be ...
I'm surprised no one besides John and I have mentioned eating them raw- young turnips are almost as sweet as an apple!
I like them cooked, too, many of the ways already mentioned. I also occasionally do a dish my Mother used to: Slice them up thin in a shallow baking dish, dot with butter, dust with flour, sprinkle with salt, pepper and add milk to cover. Bake for 1/2 hour or so...scalloped turnips!
