I was given some turnips last week. Cut them up and boiled them, then mashed them. Ate them quickly with butter. Glad they are gone!!

love beets, especially pickled. Never had rutabagas either though. Only had rhubarb once, and that was when I was about 10.......saw it in the fridge and thought it was some kinda giant red celery....so I took a bite. Never ever eat raw rhubarb!!!

lol love raw turnips, but can't stand em cooked! I really like turnip greens though, as long as ya don't cook the turnips in with em, and most folks do.

Thank you! I added it to my not-so-smartphone's dictionary. [emoji33]

ok......now if all you okra haters DO like liver.........there is something seriously wrong here!! hehehe

yep.

i can forgive people who like brussel sprouts or asparagus. ".... forgive them, for they know not what they do"

but... enjoying liver (of all things) should not be a human enterprise. {{{shudders}}}

Never knew you could eat them raw. But at least I got them down the maw. 30% daily requirement of vitamin C!!!

Dennis.....have you heard of the crockpot liners?? Makes cleaning the crock pot super easy. Also makes pouring leftovers into a bowl super easy. Pick up the liner.....put it in the bowl, and just pick up a bottom corner, and let it all spill into the bowl as you lift the liner up from the bottom.

Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners 4 ct

thankee. these appeal to my inner laziness

jup! peel em, slice em, lil bit of salt, and yumm yumm yumm try it that way if you're given anymore of em. Totally different taste than cooked.

yw hun. I know how hard it would be for you to try to wash a heavy, wet, slippery crockpot innard. They sell em everywhere, just sometimes they're a lil hard to spot. Make sure ya don't get oven bags. Not the same.

I believe the leaves are poisonous also. Rhubarb that is

oh wow, didn't know that. Good thing I didn't bite those. Dad had a bad habit of cookin stuff and not tellin me what it was til after I'd tasted it, cuz he figgered if it sounded weird, I'd just decide I didn't like it. that's how I ended my one and only time trying lamb. Thought they were just itty bitty pork chops! lol Don't remember what they tasted like, but I remember they were the best tasting "pork chops" I'd ever had.

 

[classwife]

YES! Somebody else who doesn't eat peas!! The only thing worse is lima beans and OKRA!!

ok......now if all you okra haters DO like liver.........there is something seriously wrong here!! hehehe

I can really only think of one veggie I don't like, & that's beets. Of course there are probably a lot I've never had or heard of. I've never had rutabega. (however you spell it. Apparently my phone has never had it either, since it had no suggestions.)

No lima beans, NO liver and no beets

 

[yiddleboge6]

I'm of the opinion that there would be something seriously wrong if everyone liked exactly the same everything....the same color....the same food.....the same clothes.....the same hairstyle, etc.....what a boring world it would be...

Rubard! That's another one I've never had.

Ohhhh ye abusers of the okra!! Thy gumbo shall be found lacking!

I have so held off on Gumbo comments...

Smothered liver & onions are delicious!. A little cafe next door to us makes it once a week. Mom & I go about once a month just for that!

pssstttt don't eat the leaves!

We used to chew on rhubarb stalks as a kids...as well as eat gooseberries and chokecherries......all of them very, very tart. And yes the leaves of rhubarb are highly poisonous...
