Challenge #4: Turnips

[miss_s_b]

This week's challenge is to cook something edible with turnips (or swede - what is the difference anyway? Not enough for challenge purposes, that's fer sure!)

It's not that I'm like Baldrick, and dream of having my own enormous turnip in the country. It's just that my veg box has TWO of them in this week, so I'm going to need to push myself into doing something with them that I can bear to eat. Which will be a turnip for the books. Ehehehehehe.

I'll be bowing out of this one since I pretty much universally despise turnips lol

The maple syrup and sage sounds interesting

We discussed this at length during Kamikaze Cookery. The jury's still out.

The "swedes" I see down south are gigantic yellow things. "Turnips" are small and white.

The swede I have is a gigantic yellow thing. Still, Jenny says it's allowed in the challenge so I'm using it.

I'm sitting out this week because I wasn't able to acquire any root brassica of any description, and also because I'm still drowning in marinararara sauce from last week. Meantime, let me just second davegodfrey's post---if in doubt, fry it.
