Turnips

[kansashat]

Anyone else like em? I do. The secret to cooking turnips is to boil the heck out of em. Cook em down til the water is almost gone & they are about 1/2 mush, then you mix em with butter, salt, pepper & a dash of sugar.
I don't like a steady diet, but they make a nice change up side dish once in a while.

Any friend of the turnip is a friend of mine. I agree with you, they are a great veggie now and then. My wife makes a creamy soup with them. Yummy stuff.

Almost as bad as Grits or Lima Beans or Suchatash :)

But, than again I love things like chicken gizzards, blood sausage and liver.

Man! Those were the best damn turnips I've had in years! I had em with oven fried chicken that I seasoned with Lawry's, pepper, & an Amish chicken frying seasoning my wife picked up somewhere. I roll it in flour & season both sides & drizzle with melted butter. I bake at 400* for 30 minutes & turn & bake another 30 minutes.
Green beans seasoned with onion soup mix. :u

That usually reveals nice intestinal prowess since severe underwear coloring befalls illprepared
gastromites thus I munch eggplant

Its all in the greens (and not in your jeans)

If you're talking about the chicken....I pretty much did. The Amish seasoning is something she picked up in a shop in Branson, Mo.

Being the vegetarian that I am, I like turnips. I just cant have them too often.

I've never had turnips cooked but I like to eat them raw --they're pretty good. They also make a great kimchee.

Radar (or is it radaR?), you sir are a gentleman of rare & discerning perception. I got a lot of ring gauge I don't really deserve, so don't worry about it.
You ever eat fried cabbage? Yummm!

For you knotheads that scoff at the idea, here is a general recipe:

Fry up a skillet full of bacon, crispy.
Remove & leave some bacon grease in the skillet.
Cut up a head of cabbage into wedges (removing the core).
Brown the cabbage in the bacon grease & throw some chopped onions in there while it is browning.
Season with whatever sounds good to you.......I usually use:
1. Lawry's Seasoning Salt
2. Black pepper.
3. A little garlic powder.
4. A sprinkle of sugar.
Add a little water & cover. Steam cook til the cabbage is tender.

Dish it up & crumble the bacon over the top of it. Awesome!

Maybe CAO can come up with a turnip flavored stogie. Jethro's Dream would be a cool name, or Ellie Mae's Passion.

My mom makes turnips and carrots every year for Thanksgiving. I tried it once when I was a kid, gagged, and never had the fortitude to give them another shot.
