Given that carrots in period seem to have been a little closer to
parsnips than to modern carrots, I'll point out that when you boil
parsnips in the right mass proportion to water, you end up with quite a
respectable light syrup (fermentable and the basis of an alternative
stout in Britain). The above doesn't sound very surprising, but I agree,
it might not be the first thing a typical modern person would think of.
