Greens and the root. Greens obviously boiled with fat meat salt pepper,but the root is different. Growing up we had them cubed and stewed (edible but not my favorite) later in life learned they could be mashed in with potatoes (big fan). Much later (I’ll assume after a few adult beverages one night) we were frying fish. Had cooked potatoes, squash, okra, etc……but still had people to feed. A peeled/sliced turnip, rolled in egg/milk then in flour salt/pepper and deep fried is outstanding.
