I was served scalloped turnips at a feast a couple of years ago and it was really fabulous!
 
But have you noticed the skyrocketing prices of root vegetables recently?  Parsnips celery root, rutabaga, radish, and so on.  These things used to be 'peasant food' and now they're...I don't know, 'haute cuisine', I guess. :(

I agree.  I frequently substitute turnips for potatoes in modern 
stews...I'm not supposed to eat white potatoes (high in carbs), so I use 
turnips.  They work very well, actually adding nice flavor to the stew.
