Thanks to all the suggestions. Years back I took a full roasting pan of root vegetables for Thanksgiving and held my breath thinking everyone would hate them. Imagine my surprise when I went back for seconds and found they were all gone!!! Even the kids went after them.
So, I did try the simplest suggestion. I sliced it thin, cooked until soft, drained and sprinkled with salt and added a little butter. Much to my surprise - we both liked it. I was imagining a pungent taste, but it's actually mild and that seems to fit my (now) bland-ish taste buds.
Thanks everyone.
