Yes, they are delicious. But there IS a negative side to eating them.
If you enjoy their texture and taste, don't venture into crowds. Especially among people that are strangers to you.
They make you FART. Loudly and odoriferously
"Good", is NOT good enough, when "better" is expected

I have never found a foodstuff that has that effect on me. Not even baked beans.

Well now, isn't that special?

Some foods don't make you fart, but make you talk more. There are times when it is hard to decipher the difference.

Not refuting that and agree with the latter but which foods make you talk more?

That condition is called logorrhea. But I didn't know food could induce it. I was under the impression only fine wines had that capacity!

A wonderful vegetable. Pick ones that are dark green and small as they will be more tender and less bitter.

Note: for those that have access to local farmers markets where you can buy fresh seasonal produce, do not pass this privilege up! Why have a boring omelet with store bought spinach when you can throw in bits of red Russian kale, red dandelion greens, and whatever else you can find. Everything you find at the super market is not really fresh, and it supports businesses that exploit foreign labor and use dangerous chemicals such as DDT. Buy local, and support the hard working people that still do things the old fashioned ways.

That must be a foreign variant - we don't get them here in the UK

Parsnips  - just might be my favourite veg - mmmmmmmmm

Parsnips are excellent puréed with carrots, or diced in veal dishes such as the blanquette or ossobucco. Very fragrant and sweet taste.

We like parsnips fried and lightly browned.  Yumm
