Parsnip....now I have seen it in books for mashed, mashed with mashed potatoes, roasted, and in soups, and stews. Growing up we never had parsnips....there were a number of things we didn't have...growing up in the middle of Ohio..and no, we just like the rest of the world ate what was in season and what was available. But we did have things shipped in...(I had a couple from Russia staying here for a week with the Friendship Force who took home a pineapple because at the time they had not been available in Moscow and their children had never tasted them).
Back to the parsnip...so I picked a couple up at the local Asian market...prepped and tossed with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted them in the oven....they were good...but somehow not the taste I expected....to me it seemed the 'missing link' between a potato and a sweet potato.
