My hubby never liked them when his mom cooked them ( she would put brown sugar in hers) but when I cooked them he loved them.. in true mother-in-law fashion SHE smirked when I cooked them and said Garry will never eat them and in true daughter-in-law fashion I retorted He eats huge helpings.. and he did.. did my heart good... hahahaLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344939433885055743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-24376885294452799972014-10-15T09:16:38.891-04:002014-10-15T09:16:38.891-04:00I never really liked rutabagas or parsnips when I ...I never really liked rutabagas or parsnips when I was a child. I may buy a small one and see if it is tastes different from what I remember. Thanks for the recipe! <br />Turnips were ok, and we like the salad turnips in salads and stirfry. We had a veggie csa membership for a few years, but there were so many things that my family wouldn't eat, that it seemed like a waste of money. I know swiss chard, kale and other greens are healthy, but when your family says it tastes like dirt...:DKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710629007170091862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-57709515315529309342014-10-12T14:18:40.387-04:002014-10-12T14:18:40.387-04:00If you were Swedish you would mash them half and h...If you were Swedish you would mash them half and half with potatoes and butter and call it rotmos LOL.

How long did you bake the sticks for fries? The boys may eat it better that way, though I'm looking forward to it mashed.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396880852810370044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-12842517350589088262014-10-08T19:48:14.345-04:002014-10-08T19:48:14.345-04:00Thank you for the information.

Yes Southern cooks sure do know how to cook delicious meals!! I love to read the cookbooks from there and know how much they seem to really enjoy being extra hospitable and welcoming. They seem to really enjoy entertaining and cooking up special meals. SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
