That's odd Bob. They look to be 90% inedible to be honest. I like a nice chunky parsnip ideal for cutting into fingers and roasting. Thanks for the advice above. I'll try to get some in this weekend.
I would suggest you try a stump root variety if you like chunky parsnips. As above, parsnips seed needs to be purchased fresh each year as the seed is only viable for 1 year. If you wait until June to sow them it helps to reduce canker on the roots, that is the brown corky spots which can develop, especially if the plants are left in the soil a long time.

That's how some grow them for exhibition, RAS. Have a look here:
