Vegetable question ???
I was asked to bring mashed "turnips" to our Thanksgiving dinner. The concept seems easy enough, you just boil them like potatoes and then mash them. I picked up the turnips the other day and noticed they were covered with what seems to be "wax". My question is: How do I remove the wax so I can cook the turnips? Do you simply try to peel it away with the skin or is there a better way?

No,Tim, Turnips mashed and served with a good meal taste kind of different - there is nothing that tastes like it.. It is really delicious and I enjoy them just like 1956markll

I quite like melting some butter over them. That makes them really delicious. I would suggest you run out to the store, and get some, cook 'em, mash 'em, and eat 'em.. you will not be sorry.
