    I hate parsnips! I particularly dislike the way they disguise themselves as roast potatoes, chips or even crisps. I have even known them to sneak into mashed potatoimage

    My MIL did roast potatoes from raw in a deep fat fryer and roast pork in an oven bag to keep the oven clean - which she didn't - and then wondered why it didn't crackle.   All veg cooked to a surrender and all meat very well cooked.   She was a gadget woman and had a full Kenwod Chef system and all sorts of other toys.   Funnily enough she was good at pastry but not cakes, scones, bread or biscuits.

    We love parsnips - roast on their own or with carrots and red onions and a dash of balsamic; souped; baked with sausages, red onions and apples; parsnip and maple syrup cake...........

    When my mother discovered parsnips (about 1975 I think) we used to have them roasted with the spuds, having been cut to similar shapes.  She thought it would amuse us to guess which was which.
