When I was a kid, Mom used to disguise parsnips by mixing them into the mashed potatoes. Yuk. It's not that I mind parsnips for their own sake. But a parsnip parading as a mashed potato should be illegal.

Grow your own vegetables and you'll WANT to eat them with pride and benefit from their fresh flavor. I usually grow tomatoes (my very favorite food) and they end up costing about a million dollars a pound in supplies and labor but oh my but they are gooooooood.
