It's week 13 of the CSA, and as usual, we're swimming in vegetables:
Here's the breakdown:
4 onions
1 cucumber
2 bags of mixed greens for salad
2 summer squash
1 light green squash
2 bags of potatoes
2 bunches of celery
6 big tomatoes
2 bags of little tomatoes
1 bag of bush beans
1 bunch of turnips? radishes? I don't know...
1 bunch of beet greens
and some mystery vegetables
Here's a close up of the haul:
Wait. What the???
And get this, it's not the only mystery vegetable of the week. There's this one, too:
This white thing is about a foot long and just about as phallic as a vegetable can get--no jokes required.
So. Name those veggies...
Parsnip is the white phallic veggie,Kohlrabi is the other science experiment veggie I belive its used in a lot of Indian cuisines.
ReplyDeleteThe white one looks like a Daikon radish - absolutely divine when sweet-pickled, Korean style. The green/purple ones are kohlrabi - german turnips.
ReplyDeleteI love Kohltabi's, my grandparents always had them in their garden. Though the only way we ever ate them was raw and sliced up. The flavor can range from slighty sweet to almost a little spicy depending on how ripe they are. If they are too ripe they have a woody texture and no flavor.
ReplyDeleteThe octopus/ UFO looking one is kohlrabi.
ReplyDeleteIs the other Parsnip? It looks rather carrot-like, so... that's my guess.
IT'S A DAIKON!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with "Daikon Radish" for $500!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like that!
