My Dad, a good German, grew kohlrabies. We learned to eat them raw, fresh from the garden.
My Mom added them to the pot that contained the boiled pork hocks.
Life was good, the food was better.
Moochelle can eat all the turnips she wants to. I don’t care for them. Give me Kohlrabi any time
I should add that I’m eating Limburger cheese as I type this.
The German word for Cabbage is Kohl
My guess is that Moosechelle spews a lot of gas after eating those things.
” They are the people who eat Kale, Arugula, Turnips, Beets “
oh how awful that must be.
I like kohlrabi, but regular turnips kind of get me right in the back of my throat...makes it start to close up and I have a hard time swallowing.
Lots of sour cream is the only way I’ve managed to overcome this problem. Maybe hot sauce is a better route.
or as they say in Bavaria or Franconia: Blaukraut mit Sauerbraten oder Schweinebraten und Kartoffeln ist sehr gut
Whenever my teenage son is lying he starts scratching his head over and over.
Maybe she has the same habit.
Probably depends on which of those sauces sits better with you. Turnips do have a slightly bitter quality about them....the sour cream takes care of that, I imagine.
Maybe the hot sauce numbs my taste buds...
Spaetzle on the other hand are served with pork or beef roast
My father liked Limburger cheese, we kids didn’t. The only way I tolerated it was when my mother cooked potatoes and served Limburger cheese that she mixed with diced onions.
My mother used to make Kartoffel Kloese from scratch and they were delicious. Much better than the Pfanni (Panni) Knoedel
And why are German turnips better than the turnips I get in my local grocery (and that mom used to feed us all winter long)?
Mmmm, home-made potato balls, kartoffelkloessen, they are the best!
read the article and the stuff isn’t even turnips...it is kohlrabi but the German translation makes it turnip....stupid
Well since the article specifically said that they ate KOHLRABI which in German means turnip (from the article)....
indeed
