In case no one else mentions the obvious, both may be used in stews, as part
of a home fry (with potatoes, onions, whatever), or in salads.  Mashed
(cooked) and mixed with mashed potatoes or turnip, though I'd test it; not
everyone likes the taste.

Hey, I mostly cook simply.

Seasoning the suckers is easy; garlic is a nice match....and, of course,
butter.  Lots of other options for spices.
