Geoid Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 You could make it into a soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Blue Sky Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Turnips are LOVELY grated raw into a salad, just as you might grate a bit of carrot in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Blue Sky Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Mr Neep's website looks like it's all about swedes to me... When I said grate a bit of turnip into your salad I meant the nice little white chaps with a purpley tinge to the top - please don't eat raw swede on my account! Swede: Big, the size of two fists, purple outside, yellow flesh when cooked. Turnip: Smaller, about the size of a satsuma, white with a purple tinge, tastes of hazlenuts. Is this a north/south thing?

ali-s Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have grown the white ones with a purple top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Blue Sky Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I am glad to hear it! Swedes are lovely, but not lovely enough to do raw. But I still think Mr Neep is growing swedes - I truly doubt that you can get a good chip off a turnip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 This picture from the Mr Neeps site definitely shows purple turnips not orange swedes although they are clearly not babies, but I think you'd be OK to use the recipes for you glut of turnips. Neeps are Turnips in Scotland and Oop North and swedes Dahn Sarth. If in doubt....give 'em a ring. I made the Quick Turnip Soup ages ago. It was ok.

Cinnamon Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Apparantly it goes well with Duck ,so how about roasting them around a roasting duck or something? I think I have a recipe somewhere...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
