Vegetables

Just wanted to share this picture of an 8" (20 cm) turnip, which mrs B. got from her brother-in-law today. For reference, the mug is your average-sized coffee mug. This specimen was grown using dried seaweed as fertiliser.

    That is a biggie all right. Wish I had some of it cooked up along with a skillet of cornbread. Yummy! Helen

    Having just added a turnip to our lamb stew, I would hate to tackle a beastie like that.  Sure is some vegetable!!!! Why does Blackadder spring to mind?

    Turnip is one of my favorite vegtables.   Love it with corned beef and cabbage.    Glad you  can't  see my mouth watering.
