First Parsnip of Spring

This root has been hanging out in the ground all winter long with its buddies. With the warm weather we've had I was able to pull it out today. The little side root tasted amazing, and the main root was quite good as well though a little tougher. We ate this one raw, and I look forward to eating more cooked as spring continues to roll on.

I can already taste the Asparagus...

I think I've eaten parsnips a grand total of once. It was a thinly sliced crunchy parsnip 'chip' at a nice restaurant. I would love to cook them, but my brain associates them with turnips, which I can't stand.
