beware parsnips

Whether it is to us, I've no idea. I've not heard that parsnips can be dangerous otherwise, and I'm sure it would be common knowledge if it were so. I've eaten loads of roast parsnips that were just scrubbed rather than peeled. The skin gets crisp and they taste better that way. I'm still alive. Same here, I almost never peel any root vegetables before cooking and it hasn't killed me yet. -- Chris Ignoti nulla cupido |
