Rutabaga verse Turnip

[Guest guest]

here is what my cookbook said about rutabaga's I might try that recipe seeing

its sweeter. I don't like turnips to me they smell like dirty socks lol

 

Rutabaga, a turnip-like vegetable, is probably a cross between a wild cabbage

and a turnip. The skin is purple toward the top and golden yellow at the point.

Its golden flesh is firmer and sweeter than a turnip, but unlike a turnip, it is

not pungent.

Take it from me, if you don't like turnips I doubt you

will love a rutabagas. They take longer to cook than

a potato or turnip. If you boil both in two separate

pans and mash together with salt and butter you will

enjoy it that way. They have a very distinct flavor

and you never hear anyone saying " I crave a bowl of

mashed rutabagas like you would a bowl of mashed

potatoes " I grew up eating them so I do enjoy them

very much but when served to others they are not a

favroite veg.

Thanks Donna then its a bit no for me.

Turnip is the only veggie i can think of i don't like so its gonna

stay that way. I thought rutabaga and turnip were the same, when it

said sweeter i was thinking no dirty sock smell. but if they taste

alike im gone. I will stick to mashed taters and mashed squash.

thanks AJ

Hi,

I have recently joined and have been lurking some. I am a vegan

living in the southeastern US. I was raised here as an omnivore and

have eaten a lot of turnip greens with the ocassional turnip root

boiled in. I LOVE rutabagas even though I don't care for turnip

roots too much. I think they have distinctly different tastes. The

turnip has a sting to it while the rutabaga is mild, even bland, but

sweet. I crave them roasted with other root vegetables with a little

olive oil and salt. I haven't tried them mashed with potatoes but

will definitley give it a go.

Thanks,

Rutabagas are also very nice mashed together with carrot. The

sweetness of the carrot takes the edge off the rutabaga.

I'll try them again mashed with carrots or potatoes but as it stands

now, the turnips and rutabagas taste close and not vegetables I crave.

Wish me luck,

Nice to find another rutabagas friend. I have a

recipe somewhere that calls for slices of carrots,

potatoes and rutabagas and you bake them all 3

together with a little orange juice and maple syrup, I

can't recall the amouts and I think it also has some

butter and herbs. I'll look for the recipe. It's one

I've made during the winter a time or two and it's

very good.

I posted a turnip recipe recentlly. I forgot to say that it is a yogic recipe

for women who feel " out of sorts " or others tell them they are " out of sorts " .

Steamed turnips are mashed with a potato masher and mixed with ghee and black

pepper. It tastes very good also.
