Okay, it used to drive me nuts when my mother made stew with both potatoes
and turnips. I'm talking big hunks of turnips, and you couldn't tell which
was the potato and which was the turnip. Bite into one and get an
unpleasant surprise! But the tiny bits of turnips they leave on the turnip
greens is insignificant. And the "pot likker" is good for soaking up with
cornbread. It's a southern thang
