good old-fashioned vegetables which
many a hostess thinks is not quite
good enough to serve her guests and
If she only knew it, most of them
would rather have it than all the ex-
pensive dollhouse vegetables or fine
canned ones that she could buy.
They are another one of those
vegetables which nature has provided
for US largely as bulk" and are neces-
sary in our dietary so other vegetables
can do their work in the stomach. Like
the beet they are largely full of fibe-
and should not be cooked too rapidly
and never covered. They are strong
in flavor and if covered while cooking
their volatile oils cannot escape, and
the turnips are discolored
There are many ways of cooking
turnips and they are especially good
as flavor in soups, or they are boiled
and mashed alone or with mashed po-
tatoes, creamed or escalloped. Which
ever way they are to be cooked care
should be taken in buying firm ones,
and always cooking them in boiling
sailed water in an uncovered sauce
pan.
