You are right.Parsnips are the modern equivalent of the apple tree in the garden of eden. They just spout evil. They are not neccessary. Parsnips should be murdered.

Inara (after Firefly/Serenity)
Lee (after Lee Adama of Battlestar Galactia)

Born ten weeks early, she is currently incubated.



We are Sci-fi nuts so all our kids have Sci-fi names. :pac:

Guilty as charged.

Turnips are good and full of nutrients so it will be on the diet.

I find they give a lovely tangy whiff to your morning dump.

You can just about pick up the turnipy whiff for a few minutes, especially if you used good ground black pepper.

I would recommend them,just make sure they are not anyway spongy.

Turnips are very handy. Manys the time that I dropped some money and found it in me turnips.


Hey Biggins, has Darth started school yet?

Edgedinblue

If they rationed them out to the enemy the war would have been over allot sooner.

Hate them they taste awful and there's no way to hide the taste they turn everything manky. Parsnips are ok roasted or with something else.


I still make the Halloween lantern out of turnips. The ugly, dirty things are great for that.

You only think you don't like Turnip and Parsnip. You just have never had it cooked in a delicious way. I like both but only when they're done right.

Buy your use of the phrase "the town" would you be a culchie yourself? Do you eat turnips?

Btw I think they're delish if cooked properly and not stringy

Adamcp898

Horrible things,

Do culchies go out of their way to get a McDonald's even though its not nutritionally valuable? :pac:

Fulton Crown

The turnip in the opinion of this poster is the true culshie veggie.

It is usually round in shape has a slightly ruddy skin and until properly prepared is generally covered in dirt.

If rolled it takes a wavey circuitous route...rather like a typical culchie making his/her way home from the pub of a weekend.

Like the culshies the turnip is a poor conversationalist and given to greeting other turnips as "Turniphead" a term of affection.

Most turnips end up in Dublin as indeed do culchies.......

roasted parsnips ftw

Freaks...:pac:

Just for clarification are we talking about turnips or swedes here? Turnips are the wee little white ones and swedes are the larger yellow type. I often beat the children repeatedly when they bring back swedes after I send them out to forrage for turnips.

No turnips of any colour or nationality were harmed during the making of this comment.
