Now defunct? Where are you? Margali just got me a couple of cans, last
trip to the store, because she knows I love lamb.

Rutabagas are somewhat similar in flavor, but a bit more bitter. Never
tried them with lamb, but suspect they'd go very well. You might want
to cut then fairly small, and maybe include chucks of a sweeter
vegetable such as carrots, to ameliorate the bitterness a bit. Or, you
could add a dash of sugar, but that's something I avoid doing.
