Here a nip there a nip, what the hecks a PARSNIP?

[Lewski709]

Do you know? Have you had them?

I love parsnips, they are quite common here in England (we have to have them with our christmas dinner). I like them roasted the best or mashed up with my mashed potato.

Hiya,

I'm with Danauk on this - they are popular here and they are wonderful!!! They are best roasted IMHO and I hope you can find out what they are known as more commonly in the US (if that is what is the problem here) because everyone should try them!!

Yum, lovely sweet parsnips, I may have to try and buy some tomorrow, are they in season?

Here's a piccy, I guess they look like a white carrot!!

Cya,

I love them roasted. They are at their most flavoursome in the winter months here.

Love 'em! Boil 'em and put butter on them with some chopped parsley. Or mix them with cooked carrots and butter. Either way....they're aromatic and delectable!

Don't really care for them too much. But if they're used in something (e.g. a stew), I will eat them as opposed to picking them out.

They are fairly popular in Canada also, at least they were in my neck of the woods.

I've never tried them. I don't really care for many root vegetables, so I've always assumed I wouldn't like them either. They're not real common around here anyway. My Canadian grandmother eats them.

My Mother was Scottish so I guess that's where I developed my love for parsnips.

I love to roast them with my Sunday roast.

I have tried them several times and find that they taste like soap. Yuck! I do like turnips and most other root veggies though. My DH likes them, so I will probably make them again for him sometime.

I like them roasting beside a hunk of meat. I will put one when making Chicken Soup. But my fav is a Christmas dish where you saute onion, carrot and parsnips, mix with fish then add a cup of tomato juice and then roast until veggies are just tender! YUM!

I like to put them in a pan with fake butter and fry them. Not deep fried, I guess I would say more like frying a hamburger. YUM!

My mom insists I ate some when I was little, but I think she's confusing me for someone else. Aren't they like small turnips?

 

[pirateofthecarolinas]

I cut them up with carrots and turnips and roast them in olive oil.

actually they are more like beige carrots.

It sounds like something I had to eat when I was a kid, but I must have blocked it from my memory.

 

[Lewski709]

I didn't realize so many people had no idea.

They are the secret ingredient (shh, don't tell my wife I am posting this) in her Chicken Soup!!!Golden Brown. I took to them so much I occasionally sing about them...

There once was a roast cooked in a crock pot...
Simmering all day with juicy PARSNIPS...
Yummy will it taste....

Needless to say whenever we get together with her family for holidays, they always have plenty of Parsnips on hand for me.

They are a little bland raw, but you just gotta love'em !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Parsnips!!!!!!!!!

I will have to try them roasted...
Sautéed sounds yummy too...



If you can't tell, I love PARSNIPS!!!!!!
