[Sca-cooks] turnips

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

ok, enough about beets.... (havent liked them since i spilled beet juice on
a white sweater)

turnips!
now properly made "Armored Turnips" is very good eating, but it depends on
youngish turnips, nice and tender
pre cooking them well
and the right cheese

and NO ONE uses the same cheese, as far as i can tell!

so, what cheeses do you use in your armored turnips? and *where* do you get
your turnips??? i am lucky if i can buy some really nasty tough old
things...... so where do you get your turnips for feast?

oh, and what else do you recomend cooking with turnips? i ask partly out of
period questions (if the turnip crop was good, what would i be making out of
them??) and partly because they are an Atkins freindly substitute for
potatoes.....
