Pretending to jump on the turnip bandwagon .
How do you prep, cook, eat yours ?
I’ve only ever roasted mine. It’s also a vegetable I’ve never brought. If I don’t grow it, I don’t eat it.

I don't normally use white fleshed turnip unless I grow them but I do use swede a lot, either home grown or bought. Mainly mashed with butter but also in stews and soups.

Who would do anything with a turnip!
I tried to grow them and failed miserably, never bought them. In my book they're like radishes, to be avoided.
Swede though is a wonderful veg. Mashed with lashings of butter. Never managed to grow one worth peeling though.

I prefer to grow daikon/mooli rather than white turnips. It has exactly the same taste and texture, but you get more bang for your buck. It is a melt in your mouth veg, same as snowball turnips and I prefer large pieces steamed and eaten as a side veg. If mashed I think it would turn into an unappetizing slurry!

I’ve sown some golden globe turnip today. Never grown them before. Usually grow purple topped Milan.

I have only ever sown them as a sacrificial crop, cabbage whites seem to enjoy the leaves and woodlice the roots.
