I’ll never forget - about a decade ago I was drinking at a small town dive bar around Christmas and a woman walked in with a basket full of turnips. She gleefully handed them out to all the patrons, but no one wanted them, so I ended up going home with about a dozen home grown turnips. I sliced them thin and made turnip chips, and they were amazing! I served them to friends at my Christmas party and they were a huge hit. Since then I always make turnip chips around Christmas.
Man, turnips get such a bad rap. Just comes from them being fairly hard, so cooking them right can be tricky. But once you nail that? Earthy, slightly sweet, and so dang rich in flavor.
