Guest guest Posted March 11, 2001 Report Share Posted March 11, 2001 Now , Be nice!! Turnips are an acquired taste but are really good. The greens cook up so nice with a chunk of bacon cut up in them. The turnip itself is a member of the radish and rutabaga family so is tangy but adds great flavor when 1/2 of one is added to a beef stew (old New England recipe) and they can be peeled, diced, cooked and mashed like the cauliflower and served with butter and a little salt. We grew up on them as kids (rutabagas also) as my Mom liked us to try all kinds of foods. The only one she couldn't make me like was onions (my brother used to take fresh onion sandwiches to work) and she always served the green scallions with her big dinners. Eventually, as an adult, I learned to like them (especially on hamburgers) but now, in my old age, and minus my gall bladder, I have tummy problems if I eat the raw ones. I almost killed my self one time with a bowl of French Onion soup. It was at a sidewalk French restaurant in Coral Gables, FL and was delicious with a slice of French bread w/cheese toasted on top. I paid the price that night. But I digress, as usual. Anyway, give the turnip a chance. They can even be diced into a green salad for a little addition of tangy. Besides, as a root veggie I'm sure they have a lot of nutrition. Just my thoughts, anyway. See how much influence my Mom still has on me, and I left home 50 yrs. ago. Love Mom Pudge, who didn't teach her kids to eat turnips. Laru, do you eat them?? pudge@... P.S. Joya, when I go to church today I'll find out the Spanish name for " turnip " and e-mail you this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2001 Report Share Posted March 12, 2001 Try stir frying thinly sliced celery in better for 3-4 minutes, add some soy sauce and cook a couple more minutes. This is different and has just a trace of carbs. Also slice some large radishes and fry them in butter. These will surprize you - not like radishes at all.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 How do you cook them? The way a person cooks them makes a difference. Do you overcook? cook them using boil till done.(bad) Some people prefer microwave with veggie, the veggie stay more colorful, better tasting then. It's an acquire taste. Even if you only ate a very small portion of 2 or 3 veggie a day, you may acquire the taste after a while, give it a change, your body needs them. Put cheese over them if you want to, different cheese different taste. fd Re: Poor Lonely Turnip > > But but but ...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 Oh Fleurette, Now you have given me a craving...weird huh??? I love kefir..the REAL thing!!! Kefir dates back many centuries to the shepherds of the Caucasus mountains, many of which live to be happily active over 100 and some say 120 years. They discovered that fresh milk carried in leather pouches would occasionally ferment into an effervescent beverage. My cultural anthropology introduced me to this in the study of the Caucasus peoples...and when I was there in 1993 I was able to taste the *real* thing. It has a unique and exquisite flavor but it is an acquired taste. I found that I liked it very quickly. It is better cold. (US) There is no form of refrigeration where I was at, and hence it was warm, but non-the-less palatable and delicious from a real stone crock where it was kept cool in the window sill. along with some genuine Russian black bread and some goat cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers, it was one of the most satisfying and delicious meals I think I have ever had. JJ-who is dreaming of flying to Russia for dinner...LOLOL!!!! ----- Original Message ----- > Have you check up on that yogurt replacement? > > http://www.kefir.com/direct.htm its suppose to be better than yogurt, they > have the bacteria to make your own.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 thanks for the cheese suggestion. :-) Been there done that though...it doesnt help! And I dont overcook them cuz I dont cook them! Only had them when other ppl have cooked them. I dont think I want to try to aquire a taste for these veggies, think I will just concentrate more on eating a large salad everyday (I love salad) and try to put more different kinds of greens in it.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 > How do you cook them? We think he is having an enzyme problem due to having a bad tooth in his mouth for too long years ago, cause thats when it started. It began that he could not eat strawberries, then worked it's way to broccoli, carrots, now ANY fruit and cauliflower. He can eat greens and green beans. Sometimes he can't eat protein bars!
