May as well get use to it now when NetZero kicks in it's turnips for everyone anyway.

Love a bacon lettuce and turnip sandwich.

Once you've fried up the the onion, carrot, beef, garlic etc pop a couple in the blender, add to the pan, and simmer for a Bolognese like you've never had before.

I think turnips are about the only thing she hasn't eaten!

BLT, cooked, raw or pickled? If raw thin slices or grated?

Totally agree turnip sounds like a great addition to add body to ragu sauce. Plusgood.

Least they're not suggesting insects.... Yet.

She's right tho... people should eat more British produce and less of that foreign European/North African rubbish!

 

[robfosters]

Whole turnips appear quite difficult to get in supermarkets

Don't get people moaning about lack of fancy unseasonal veg in February, 1st world problems and all that. What's wrong with egg and chips or mince in gravy

Whilst I despise Coffey, eating in season fruit and veg is not a terrible idea.

I'd have no problem with that, been meaning to try some of the bread made with them.

Full of protein and plentiful.

A cunning plan

Whilst I despise Coffey, eating seasonable fruit and veg is not a terrible idea.

It is if you don’t like turnips

Ever tried one? I like vegetables though, probably more than processed crap.

No but I hate parsnips and I think they’re quite similar.

It would be alright if it was part of a well thought out government policy backed up with education and dare I say it subsidies for British farmers producing the stuff but as usual it’s not it’s just a badly thought out knee jerk response to yet another disaster our inept government has managed to make worse rather than better!

They taste very different. Don't base your hatred of a vegetable on Blackadder lol

Grated, then left on the side to crisp up a bit.

Nice way to get a week's supply of roughage in one meal

Parsnips are better

It’s what the rest of the world apart from USA does.
