Wee Muther grew up in Scotland WWII era. Especially during wartime shortages and mandatory rationing, many meals were stews and soups and mashes made from neeps (yellow turnips), ingins' (onions) and tatties (potatoes). Only meat to be commonly had was rabbit and fish once a week. Occasionally ground mutton (mince). To this day she looks like she'll yakk at the sight of rabbit meat. Still loves her neeps and tatties, though...
I like 'em OK, but wouldn't lose sleep if I never ate them again.
Well, it's not like you and the missus have been reduced to rabbit once a week.
Yellow turnips being .................................rutabagas?
We had them mashed, with a couple of well boiled carrots for even more color, every holiday season........
I still do. I find it hard not to have them on the table..............wee mother (my Irish American one) is looking down from above after all .
