LOL that's funny! Do you like turnips? My mother always prepared some
for TG but no one liked them but her? She did rutabagas too at times. I
always liked bits of rutabagas in Cornish pasties.

When I was a young bride I mistakenly purchased "pickled" onions (meant
for drinks, I think?) when what I meant to buy was jars of pearl onions
to make creamed onions with. Gag!! I use fresh now, but for many years
those jars of Aunt Nellie's pearl onions could make some good creamed
onions. Pickled onions do NOT!
