Now you’re talking! I looked at the article but didn’t even recognize most of that stuff as food. Rutabagas? People really eat that?
Never tried? I roasted some with turnips and parsnips a couple weeks ago. Nice change of pace, and pretty inexpensive as veggies go.
As a kid I was obliged to occasionally eat rutabagas and turnips, which I would consider again if I were starving. But, otherwise, no.
Now turnip greens with ham hocks and pepper sauce are another matter. Cracker Barrel serves up some good turnip greens.
Rutabagas
_____________________
From my childhood:
Peel and shave rutabaga; add chopped onion and diced fresh tomatoes. Top with oil and vinegar. Fresh dill if available. Serve with dark rye or pumpernickel bread, butter or cheese. If you need more than a salad, add a soup to the meal. I crave this as a salad dinner in hot weather.
Shaved fresh rutabaga is like a cross between jicama and cabbage. Steamed, it is similar to turnip. Steam and mash with butter and add crisped bacon pieces.
It’s cheap, healthy, flavorful, filling and, when raw, has crunch.

Take a look. I’m guessing you didn’t grow up in the country side.

Not only eat but grow.
They are very tasty mashed.
