The message
from Stuart Baldwin contains these words:

Does anyone have any suggestions for easier ways of preparing salsify?

Easier than what?

Easier than boiling it and trying to scrape the skin off with either a
knife or a vegetable brush. In my original post I wrote that I had
grown some salsify on my allotment and boiled it in its skin for about
25 minutes, but then found that I didn't have time to prepare it for
Christmas dinner because it was so fiddly scraping the skin off.
