Roast Parsnips,do you like them ?

[Leekbrookgull]

Awesome,roasted.

 

[Goring Gull]

Yes smothered in syrup

 

[philsussex]

No.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Fondant.

I love them, the major problem being that if you buy them in a supermarket they tend to be so small and thin that when peeled there isnt much left to roast.

Waitrose.

Thank you I will try there.

Never liked them, espcially don't like it when people cook them with the potatos, they make the roasties taste bitter and reek and they hide them amongst the spuds. Bleaauraareeeuaaaiiieeeouuuaaauurrrggghhh.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

I f***ing hate parsnips, and am glad to see I'm not the only one. BLEUUUUUUUUUUUUUURGH indeed.

 

[Hunting 784561]

Yes please. The best part of a roast dinner.

 

[NMH]

Love 'em - and not only that, but along with beetroot, they are very nice as chips (sliced thin, fry til lightly browned).
One of my favourite veg.

 

[The Wizard]

Gawjus!

 

[Gully]

Yes, roast some parsnip, carrot and sweet potato in olive oil and honey then serve with parmesan and rosemary risotto for a wonderful vegetarian dinner!

The pesky little blighters can sometimes masquerade as roast potatoes.

A truly revolting experience biting into one by accident.

I never used to but i quite enjoy them now. Sweet potatoes on the other hand, even the concept is shit? Why the f*** would you want potatoes to be sweet?

 

[Garage_Doors]

Just like the way that many other fruit and veg have different varieties with wildly contrasting appearances, flavours and textures...each one can be prepared and cooked in many ways depending on the recipie used or desired result.

Roast sweet potatoes go very well with jerk chicken, rice and peas...to provide a sweet and chewy contrast to the feiry heat of the chicken.

 

[beorhthelm]

love 'em, along with Sweet Potatoe.

its just a name, call them Yams if it helps (though they arent actually the same as proper Yams).

I can never decide if parsnips are the king of vegetables or if it's sprouts.
