Turnips in stew?
Does anyone else like turnips and parsnips in beef stew? I find that substituting one of these for every 3rd potato or carrot (respectively) provides just a touch of bite to stew that helps keep the flavor a bit sharper and more interesting.

1. It's the only way I like them
and it's in strong flavored soups and stews. I got used to having them baked with a little tamari, but I can't say I ever really liked them that way. I was just poor and they were just cheap.

Why not head over to the Cooking and Baking Group and ask some advice there?

2. LGBT people eat, too.
And it's nice to occasionally see a thread here that won't get smashed with a bagel.

5. Your locking post is biphobic
Some people's taste includes both snails and oysters.

The great mollusk migration wiped out by a hemorrhoid...err...asteroid.

6. Have a pot on now
I just did a sub with turnips instead of potato in a vegetarian, Ethiopian recipe, I found on line. Smells wonderful with all the spices. Good winter comfort food.

11. I am pro-turnip
Better in lamb or mutton stew. The strong flavors really compliment.

Once I made wild duck stuffed with turnips. I had orgasms the whole time I was eating it.(ok. that was a slight exxageration)

12. Also this!
Put mashed turnips in your mashed potatoes about half and half. Add a lot of butter, csome half and half or cream, more butter , then some more butter.
Serve with butter.

22. I volunteer at my local food bank once a month
my church does it with the local Lutherans

I told one of the Lutheran ladies my recipe for mashed potatoes, which has only slightly less butter than yours

she was shocked

I told her it wasn't health food by any stretch

I use cream instead of half and half

30. We're not interested in hearing about your volunteer work here.
This is the GLBTQ or something forum. Take it outside, buddy.

18. Yes, and believe it or not, a handful of cooked cabbage
adds a special extra something in tomato based vegetable soups too. Scrumptious.

23. My mom's idea of how to make stew...
... was to dump a bunch of meat, potatoes, carrots, peas, and onions into a big pot, cover everything with a whole bunch of water, and cook it for several hours until it turned a nice shade of grey. Then she'd add her secret ingredient -- turnips -- and cooked this mess for another half hour, or until everything tasted foul and bitter, or in other words, like turnips. It was vile and I refused to eat it, preferring to go hungry. To this day, I will not eat stew, with or without turnips. I had to learn to cook out of self-defence. Thankfully, my dad was a good teacher.

I like parsnips, though, in butter.
