Veg questions
« on: October 24, 2017, 09:03:58 AM »
Has anyone seen/ selling parsnips in or around fethiye please?

I got some really nice sprouts from calis market on Sunday. 8tl a kilo.

Do they sell butternut squash here..or is the Orange stuff in bags pumpkin, would there be much difference in taste in a soup?

Parsnips are almost like hen's teeth. I thought I'd found some in the market one year. Bought 10 kilos with the intention of freezing a load. Got 'em home and cooked some. They were vile ! Turns out it was sugar beet. Still, the horses and goats enjoyed 'em.   :)

Hi Bernie

Not seen Parsnips but yes have seen butternut at calis market although was less there last Sunday then normal, we get from veg stand top end (not migros end) by the cay stall next to pavement with sacks of potatoes on hope that helps.

That's great thanks for info. Wonder if Friday village market will have either the butternut or parsnips. What's Turkish for parsnips please

Are you sure that's a butternut Lee ? Looks very much like a gourd to me.

Might be KKOB but tastes the same & used the same way, roasted/soups etc. Will be growing my own next year so will be 100% butternut.
