Kohlrabi tastes somewhat similar to a bitter cabbage - turnip cross breed
(which it is not). One important step in the cooking of this vegetable is to
change the water a few times during the cooking process. This will help to
mellow the bitterness (which is not pronounced if cooked in this manner, and
actually adds a bit of depth to the dish it is used in.) I enjoy it boiled
tender, and then sauteed in bacon drippings with a splash of white wine or
wine vinegar. Salt and pepper, too, natch.
