I had no idea what a turnip was or how it tasted, until I left home. During the depression, turnips were one of the few things that thrived on my maternal grandparents' farm. My mother swore she would never eat another one, so....none planted in my childhood garden, ever!!
I've eaten them and don't mind them actually. Although I probably need a few good recipes. I'll be watching this thread. New (to me) veggie ideas are always welcome.
