I've read that it translates as "white carrot" - I believe it's not the same as the parsnip, am I wrong?<BR/>The one we have here is delicious, kind of mildly sweet, actually. We make soups with it and it's very popular to make baby food, too.<BR/><BR/>I've baked Patricia Scarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025126825422974626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-42461024848898637062007-05-07T18:45:00.000+02:002007-05-07T18:45:00.000+02:00I've learnt something new today, I would never hav...I've learnt something new today, I would never have thought that parsnips were used in sweet dishes back in the day. The loaf looks great by the way. Roasted parsnips are in fact often served as an accompaniment to British Sunday roasts and even Christmas dinners over here. If you get them right, they can be very good. Get 'em wrong however, and they can be quite nastyTrighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386804439578267100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-51079922982882336872007-05-07T14:44:00.000+02:002007-05-07T14:44:00.000+02:00Parsnips definitely need to be sweetened for me to...Parsnips definitely need to be sweetened for me to enjoy them. I usually boil then carmelize in butter and brown sugar, but I can see by this very inventive loaf that I need to expand its potential.

I'm also not too fond of this the way it's usually prepared (boiled) although I heard recently that roasted parsnips are quite tasty.
