Chinese Turnips


My neighbour plucked these Chinese turnips out of his garden and gave them to me the other day.  They don't come fresher than that!  His small grandchildren told husband M they would be stopping by for candy on Halloween.  It made me realize I should have some handy.  They will just be going to a friend's place as well, not too many stops this year.

I see that I have made pickles out of these turnips in the past, but they can be cooked as a vegetable too.

      Valerie they are in the radish family with a mild taste. It tastes like regular turnip when cooked but can be eaten raw.

      I did try but they were quite hard and chewy for me.

    I don't think I have come across Chinese turnips, but I never met a veggie I didn't like.

    Nice gift for sure. We not longer have kids stopping by the house. They all grew up and now kids go to Old Town.
