Mashed rutabagas and cornbread oyster dressing. And a bottle of bourbon.
Where the heck you at?
I thought only our family, from back East, had them at holiday meals. Couple of carrots cooked with them and mashed up to brighten up the orange color.
Wife thinks I'm nuts (might be, but not for this) because I require them with turkey or ham dinner on the holidays.
My Swedish grandmother. Actually never met her, but her food traditions stay strong in our holiday food. I prefer them over mashed potatoes, but my kids disagree.
No Swedes in our tree, just Irishers.
Maybe they got the rutabaga things from their Viking ancestors.
I've been know to mix the rutabagas (we called them turnips, the purple and white ones were called white turnips) and taters together, with the corn and top it all with a lot of giblet gravy. Bothers the heck out of those at the table that can't have their separate foods even touch.
Love turnips too, but rutabaga for the holidays.
I've never added carrots to it that's an interesting take.
Seems they just add some color. Only a couple to a big pot of rutabagas. 10% at most? Who knows, carrot is known to add some sweetness to things, so maybe folks thought that was a good idea?
I just do it cause that's the way mom did it.

Fresh roasted green Chile and the best beef jerky anyone has ever had.
Whoa now !
Ken's been holding out on us ?????????
Before making that claim about the jerky, it would be prudent of him to send you and me a 4 oz bag (125g or so for you folks) to test the validity of that statement, eh?

I don’t know Jim, but I’m pretty sure no matter what you brought you’d be welcomed and have a good time. The guy seems like the salt of the earth kinda family man. My kinda people. As Gump would say,”That’s all I’ve got to say about that.”.
I'm making a seafood gumbo from Scratch right now, doubt it would last the trip.
IIRC some guy on the ‘Fire arranged to deliver live New England lobsters and scallops about sixty miles down S Padre Island. Something could prob’ly be arranged.
