Parsnips? Those must be an acquired taste. We never had them growing up
and my mom seemed to have no reason why. Except that perhaps they were not
cheap and readily available like carrots. Why do they not make canned ones?
Do they make frozen ones? I've never seen them. And I think for some
reason they are much more commonly used in the UK.

I once made a stew with them in there many years ago. I disliked them so
much that I had to pick them all out. Luckily I had left them in large
chunks. I never tried them again.

Neither of my grandmas ever made green bean casserole. My mom's mom was
fond of making three bean salad and she did a lot of canning so she always
had that around. The other one made cooked to death green beans with bacon.
They were sooo good. I've never been able to achieve that same flavor that
she got. She cooked them all day to the point where the beans were pretty
much mush.

I will say that the two vegetables we use the most of in this house aside
from onions would be green beans and carrots. We all love green beans
although Angela only likes canned ones. Alas, my latest test showed a
carrot intolerance. This did not make me happy as the chicken broth that I
love so much has carrot juice in it. And I have to think twice when making
my plate now because it was common for me to include a handful of raw
carrots in some form. No more of that. And husband will eat them cooked
but Angela won't. Actually both of them prefer them raw.

Yes we can buy them frozen. The only way I like parsnips is roasted and
cooked any other way I hate.

Yes, they have a slightly different flavour then, do mine a la Julia
Child.

You should taste them Julia's way. At the time masses of letters
flowed in with people saying they had always hated them until they had
them done this way. Personally I adore them roasted along with the
meat.

We enjoy them so much roasted I don't think I can be bothered to mess about
with them in other ways, but thanks anyway

Do you cook them again after you puree them? Is that what changes the bitter taste of the parsnip into something more mellow? I have never liked parsnips because of their peculiar bitterness. Wonder if the second cooking fixes that.

Yes. I just don't like that "parsnip" taste. I would try them again if Julia's recipe really does make them palatable.

Ok I am with you about the taste, but for me, when they are roasted it takes
a lot of it away.

Roasted is the bee's knees! roasted and caramelized, they are so
sweet and tasty. I don't like the taste any other way.

when they are not roasted, the taste reminds me of the occasional
carrot that has a slightly green core. Ugh! Nasty, grassy and
bitter.

The link to the Julia Child recipe (on recipesource.com) posted by
"lucretiaborgia" a few messages back, specifically claimed that the 20
to 30 minutes extra cooking (in a double boiler, basically) made a
difference in improving the flavor. To quote: "The parsnip puree
improves in flavor with this additional cooking." I haven't tried it, so
YMMV.

Julia's way is useful when people are there because they can be
totally prepared then just sit in the basin keeping warm until you
want them. I remember her saying that they were usefulthat way.

You mash them and add cream then place in a bowl and into simmering
water, it does considerably alter the flavour, I happen to love them
either way, but I know many people who will only eat them that way,
not roasted.

If I am one of those, I am not advocating plain, boiled parsnips.
Rather Julia Childs recipe which is delicious and another take on
parsnips.

I wouldn't say they do, they taste completely unlike anything else.

NO! They don't taste like swede at all! I love swede I do like
parsnips, but only well roasted and caramelised.

Sometimes when I make mashed potatoes, not very often at all, I will add a
parsnip, but plain...not really.

I can't eat turnip cooked any way! Ugh, they flavour a whole dish and are
worse than boiled parsnips!

I like them raw but I rarely think to buy them. Not a fan of them cooked
but I can eat a few little cubes in a vegetable soup. No parsnips though.

Are you two talking about the same thing? Turnip being white/purple
and swede being the yellow turnip. Don't know about Oz but they
don't make a distinction here. I thought O like swede and put it in
tiddy oggy?
