Parsnips are it for me.  I keep trying them and I HATE parsnips, or as I call them Alien carrots.

I can't believe all of you peeps who don't like turnips these are honestly one of my favorites I eat them almost everyday

Hey Laura,
Want to share with us some good ways to prepare turnips?    By the way, I like them.

Alien carrots; that's good. I wouldn't say that I love parsnips, but they aren't bad in a carrot, ginger, apple juice combo. I made some roasted vegetable fries on Sunday, and parsnips were one of the three veggies...carrots and rutabagas being the other two. Of course the carrots were delicious, the parsnips were edible, but the rutabagas sort of tasted like cauliflower. I've only had rutabaga once before and frankly, I don't remember what it's supposed to taste like.

I did manage to eat them all, however, so I guess they weren't that bad.

I recently tried eating a parsnip again last week and almost gagged.  I love rutabegas too, but can't eat as many of them as turnips since they are pretty starchy for me.

Expect a turnip extrodinare blog from me shortly

Try juicing parsnip for a nice surprise!

I juice parsnips all winter with beets, carrots and fennel.  Otherwise, I carefully choose only the small ones with a uniform shape, not that long, long stringy tail.  I scrub them very well, or scrape if necessary and steam them with carrots and red onions, maybe some baby kale or mustard greens.

My husband's PhD work was in marine biology (genetics) and he and all his buddies agreed that they'd eat any kind of sushi except salmon.  That's the only one they worried about when it comes to parasites.
