Parsnips look just like carrots but are a light cream colored. They aren't the

easiest to find, but should be in the produce section of your larger grocery

stores.

New and question

 

 

Hi,

 

I was raised until I was 14 years of age as an ovo-lacto vegetarian. I then

ate limited meat for the next 30 years. (when I say limited, I mean a few

times a month) Two years ago I had my gallbladder removed and since then

cannot seem to get the IBS symptoms that developed to abate. As a result, I

have gone back to my roots and thus my vegetarian ways and find that slowly

but surely my IBS symptoms are finally abating and again tolerable. I

should have done this 20 years ago and I probably wouldn't have had so many

health problems -- but hey, we live and learn, right??!!!

 

My question -- I've seen quite a few recipes with parsnips, but have no idea

what they are. Are they called another name as well?? I've looked

extensively in our grocery stores to no avail, that's why I'm wondering if

they are called something else. Any help would be appreciated.

Ahhh that could be the problem!! I live very rurally and even our largest

grocery store about 45 miles away, didn't have them. But a smaller one,

which is closer by, will get me anything I want - perhaps I need to try

these parsnips!! What do they taste like?? They sound quite interesting

and some of the recipes I've seen actually sound quite good!
