I only bought the one this time for the chicken soup recipe posted earlier — but will get more next time out. but, I was surprised at the price 1.99 a lb. — I don’t think they are real popular here — must be more midwest veggie.

is that price common?

That looks pretty steep to me. IIRC they are harvested after first frost and are cheapest then. Here in Michigan I'd look in farmer's markets. They store well in a root cellar.

My father was given a bushel of them while on strike over thirty years ago. I have only recently been able to eat them again.

I checked Kroger today. Parsnips are $0.99/lb.
