Bumpy, lumpy turnips and such.

Most people seem to dislike turnips while I quite enjoy them.
I've come to like "mashed turnips".  They're more flavorful than mashed cauliflower in my opinion, which are kind of bland.  All I do is boil some turnips, put it in the Vitamix with a splash of sugar-free almond milk and whatever seasonings I feel like.  Blend for a short period of time, depending on how creamy you want it, and that's it.  Really simple and hearty.

Other things I like that many find repulsive:  Brussels sprouts, raw tofu, lima beans (all beans, really), capers, kimchi/most all cabbage including sauerkraut, borscht, the list goes on.  I've always had unusual tastes, probably influenced greatly by my grandmother's ethnic cooking and eating habits, as well as their adoration for all fresh vegetables.   I've always preferred most all vegetables raw as opposed to cooked and plus it's just so simple. Weirdly enough, out of all the veggies out there, the one that I find the most boring and "meh" is carrots.  I'll eat them, they don't absolutely disgust me, but I've never been crazy about them.  I actually prefer them cooked and in soups than raw.  There's something about them-They're just overly sweet and kind of remind me of crunchy sugar water.  Heh.  I'll still eat them in salads or whatever but I don't really go out of my way to buy them.  I've tried forcing myself to eat them for their health benefits but felt kind of sad eating the waxy, knobby little guys....I'll stick to my funny little turnips. ;}
