I STR a recipe in Le Menagier which involves frying strips of turnips
and then sprinkling them with spice powder, and then there's their
presence in English compost recipes. I believe there are also recipes
for turnip tarts of various types (late period), and quite a few uses
for turnip greens.

On the other hand, after I;ve had my tea I may be a little better on
detail...
