I would have to go with turnips. Incredibly versatile and nutritious root, plus delicious greens to fry up

      So I read why they dropped out of popularity in Southern Europe following the arrival of the potato. It’s because to be actually tasty and sweet, the parsnip plant needs to be hit by a hard frost - which presumably just doesn’t happen in Southern Europe, and is probably why I can’t very tasty parsnips these days in England - because we get fewer hard frosts.

        Ah, as someone from New England and then Canada, I’ve certainly had frosty parsnips.
