I have noticed a few responses in reference to this "problem" on the list, 
and here is another: (Note: I don't have the specific information with me at 
work, but one of the Scully books has some regional recipes in the back. I 
will post original recipes when I get homefrom work.)  Two of the recipes 
reference root vegetables: Amored Tunips, and a Summer Compote of Pears.  
The compote is a very good vegetarian type dish with a sweet/sour flavor. It 
has many roots as well as the pears in it!
