Turnips in stew?

[Creideiki]

Does anyone else like turnips and parsnips in beef stew? I find that substituting one of these for every 3rd potato or carrot (respectively) provides just a touch of bite to stew that helps keep the flavor a bit sharper and more interesting.

1. It's the only way I like them

and it's in strong flavored soups and stews. I got used to having them baked with a little tamari, but I can't say I ever really liked them that way. I was just poor and they were just cheap.

Why not head over to the Cooking and Baking Group and ask some advice there?

2. LGBT people eat, too.

And it's nice to occasionally see a thread here that won't get smashed with a bagel.

5. Your locking post is biphobic

Some people's taste includes both snails and oysters.

[Bluebear]

7. Locking. Your oyster post could be construed as pro-bivalve.

[NMMNG]

8. Unfair!

I'm may be a mono-valve myself but I'm tolerant of all undersea lifestyle choices!

[bluedawg12]

9. This is unfair to tubers and in favor of mollusks.

Peace, love and puppies. :party:

21. it's not a lifestyle

locking!

25. I am a molluskophobe and proud of it!

***POOF*** you are now unlocked.

29. Don't you people know that SpongeBob SquarePants is being BANNED!!!

Is it all about you!!!!lllll

If you really cared about mollusks and other sea life you'd pay attentionlllll!!!

[MNBrewer]

32. you gays attacking mollusks are like the Permian–Triassic extinction event

[yardwork]

34. This is worse than 10 George W. Bushes!

[bluedawg12]

37. Where do you think the K-T boundary came from?

The great mollusk migration wiped out by a hemorrhoid...err...asteroid.

4. Parsnips - yeah, love them

never tried turnips in the stew tho - will def. have to try that sometime. I second Warpy's suggestion to post this in C+B too- you won't find a nicer, more helpful group of cooks and bakers anywhere on the net!

6. Have a pot on now

I just did a sub with turnips instead of potato in a vegetarian, Ethiopian recipe, I found on line. Smells wonderful with all the spices. Good winter comfort food.

10. you got something against Rutabagas?

more colorful

[Jamastiene]

19. Nice post, Rutabaga

Oh, we can back and forth veggies in this subthread for hours. :P

:evilgrin:

[Vanje]

11. I am pro-turnip

Better in lamb or mutton stew. The strong flavors really compliment.

Once I made wild duck stuffed with turnips. I had orgasms the whole time I was eating it.(ok. that was a slight exxageration)

[Vanje]

12. Also this!

Put mashed turnips in your mashed potatoes about half and half. Add a lot of butter, csome half and half or cream, more butter , then some more butter.
Serve with butter.

[Jamastiene]

20. Butter not forget the butter.

:P

[davidinalameda]

22. I volunteer at my local food bank once a month

my church does it with the local Lutherans

I told one of the Lutheran ladies my recipe for mashed potatoes, which has only slightly less butter than yours

she was shocked

I told her it wasn't health food by any stretch

I use cream instead of half and half

[yardwork]

30. We're not interested in hearing about your volunteer work here.

This is the GLBTQ or something forum. Take it outside, buddy.

16. I love turnips

Fuck parsnips though. They ruined a perfectly good boiled dinnah. :puke:

[donco6]

36. I'm with you.

Love the turnips. Hold the parsnips.

[readmoreoften]

17. Figures. A rich gay talking about recipes when poor straights are barely able to eat.

Stop oppressing DU with your vitamin A-rich comments. Thank you.

[yardwork]

35. Do you have some kind of problem with the color orange?

[Jamastiene]

18. Yes, and believe it or not, a handful of cooked cabbage

adds a special extra something in tomato based vegetable soups too. Scrumptious.

23. My mom's idea of how to make stew...

... was to dump a bunch of meat, potatoes, carrots, peas, and onions into a big pot, cover everything with a whole bunch of water, and cook it for several hours until it turned a nice shade of grey. Then she'd add her secret ingredient -- turnips -- and cooked this mess for another half hour, or until everything tasted foul and bitter, or in other words, like turnips. It was vile and I refused to eat it, preferring to go hungry. To this day, I will not eat stew, with or without turnips. I had to learn to cook out of self-defence. Thankfully, my dad was a good teacher.

I like parsnips, though, in butter.

26. So many turnip replies. This forum has changed.

Potato agitator. :rofl:
