On A Claire Day by Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett for November 18, 2018

Claire has forgotten about the stuffing. :)

I don’t eat parsnips. A little known fact….people that eat parsnips, eventually die.

Good excuse.

A parsnip is basically an anemic carrot

I love parsnips, though I usually use them in stews. I’d describe them as a sweet tasting white carrot, though not so carroty in flavour.

Isn’t a parsnip kind of like a white carrot?

I like the taste of parsnips, but as my mother used to say: “When cooking, they smell like my grandfather’s dirty laundry.”

When she was younger, my daughter referred to parsnips as “hell carrots”.
