Parsnips

Parsnips are on special at the moment so I bought a family-sized bag. Any ideas about interesting things to do with them? I can’t really be bothered to roast them.

On an unrelated note, I keep on thinking about Noah’s ark. Only yesterday I was explaining to JonnyB (in the comments) how the outbuilding in my garden would come in useful when global warming means that South East Essex is no more.

Then today: BBC – Dutchman builds modern Noah’s Ark.

According to Genesis, Noah kept seven pairs of most domesticated animals, and one breeding pair of all other creatures.

Mr Huibers’ vision is more modest – he said he plans to stock his ark with horses, lambs, chickens and rabbits – mostly baby animals to save space.

This will speak very much to children… they’ll hear the creak of the wood, smell the smell of the dung

Update: I’ve posted some free parsnip images. Thanks for all the marvellous recipes.
