lets talk tunips, not the barking kind.........
hunting buddy brought some out to camp last year, they were all white not the purple top kind. some were as big as grapefruits and not hot and pithy as the purple ones get, almost like you put sugar on them they were sweet. I think if I remember right he called them white queens, anyone else ever tried one????

The Missouri Department of Conservation plants Turnips near some of the water ways here in Ozark County as Deer Food Plots. A few years ago I was down by the Bryant Creek which flows into Bull Shoals lake and dug a fresh white and red one right out of the ground. I took a bite out of it - it was good!

Turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, kohlrabi, rhubarb, and celeriac are very rarely planted or seen any more.

I use either rutabagas or turnips in my Cornish Pasty's. A meat pie that is popular in Michigan's UP.
Kohlrabi is great raw, sliced into chips and dipped in your favorite sour cream dip!

They're all good; just out of favor here in the "meat and potatoes" US of A.

Any kind of "Root" vegetables are not only really good food fodder, (but) are really good/healthy for you.
Win/win.
*I can not think of one single vegetable, I do not like.

Same here but with two exceptions Beets and Hominy I like corn but I do not like hominy.

The two things that don't like me are asparagus and cilantro. Have both of those enzymes. Otherwise, I love vegetables. I couldn't live as a vegetable-tarian, but I'm very happy to be an omnivore.

I believe the OP was referring to Lady Rae's pup, Turnip, as the barking turnip

they were called white Lady, I got the name wrong. no one here local carries them as the price of them has gone sky high. I saw one place online asking $3.49 for 10- that is TEN seeds!!!!!! they are good but not that good. I did order a hybrid white turnip that is about the same, supposed to be sweet and about a 30 day germination and 45 day harvest. I hope they turn out as good, they were about ten bucks with shipping for average of 2000 seeds.......... I just never had any luck with the purple top turnips, they tended to get hot and pithy before they got tennis ball size, not really that good for eating

Rutabaga recipe:
Pull some up before the leaves get tough. Cut the stems off the leaves. Cut the Rutabaga into chunks . Put into a pot with water and a chunk of fat back or salt pork, or ham hock. Add salt.
Boil until tender.
The greens are quite tasty.

I've never really felt the urge to eat a raw turnip. I don't turn down sliced, cooked turnips.
We plant them for deer plots and a couple people ask for a few of the early ones for table use but otherwise-just deer bait.
Local ag supply sells turnip seed by the pound and sells a LOT of it.

Not a fan of turnips, but I love me some cooked turnip greens.

Love kohlrabi, grow it every year in the garden. You can fry it, bake it. This year tried cutting them like French fries, toss them in olive oil salt and pepper, cook in air frier 8 minutes toss around cook another 8 minutes at 400 degrees. A good German food dish.

Well @Oakie, @hillbille has two strikes against him. One he was a Marine. Two he lives in WVA. I was going to point out the "Tunip," spelling, but decided against it. It is not fair to pick on people with (a'hem) limited intellectual capacity. You know, like a Turnip. 🤔😉😂🤣
*Just messing with you Brother. 👍
(I owed you one, for your "leaf" comment on another thread.)

I think "tunips" is what you get from a small yapper dog. But I might be wrong.
