The farm you purchased the parsnips at either had really rocky soil or was infested with nematodes. I hope it’s the former. Either way the marketing for those mutant parsnips was brilliant.

I have to confess to being completely ignorant when it comes to parsnips. I’ll definitely put them on my “to try” list!

Funny that you should write this. We always had parsnips growing up and I’d always found it weird when people had never heard of them. My mom always made them because they were a standard dish in her North Dakota childhood.

In fact, the strongest memory I have of my Grandpa Wilbur – my mother’s father – is that he smelled like parsnips. I love ‘em!

probably my favorite vegetable. growing up, we’d pick & eat carrots from my grandmother’s garden – after a quick rinse with the hose. It would be many, many years before I discovered the parsnip. Then, to find out that they are the essence of all things fabulous in a carrot? Heaven! I use them as often as I can – anywhere I’d use carrots. Soups, Stews, parsnip-carrot-apple slaw w/ candied pecans & cardamom & greek yogurt, parsnip cake….
