Strange bunch of vegetables

It is a celery root apparently. I have tried parsnips a few times, but they are not a favorite.

@petatonicsca That's a very good idea. and someone told me recently that if you leave the base on the celery it will last for much longer.

@JamesHxstatic Wow, didn't know you can eat celery root.Ours come without roots, and when there are a bit of root left I plant them and they produce small stalks so you get twice the punch for the same amount of money. I do it with green onions too.

Same as @JudyEv I call "turnip" what you call rutabaga. We usually do not cook celeriac, we clean it, chop in very fine strips and make two kind of salads, one with stripped Swiss cheese that is seasoned with olive oil and black pepper, The second salad is made mixing fine strips of celeriac, fine strips of baked ham and mayonnaise. The celeriac is good to make a cream of celery, mixed with the normal celery it makes the soup more creamy.

Dill adds a wonderful flavor to things. We had a dish uncooked to add as garnish.

It kind of looks like the soup we make called Boiled Dinner. But, we also add ham to it.

That would be quite good. Anne put a few pieces of beef stew meat in it.

Looks really great to me, I could do a lot with that bunch. I probably would have tossed in some tomatoes and a bit of beef or broth as well.

And once it had all been simmered for hours, you had a dinner fit for royalty:)

I misspoke about the time, as @maluese pointed out, hours would be too long.

So, the purplish thing is rutabaga. Is it a root crop? I haven't tasted a purple cabbage yet. Does it taste like the ordinary cabbage, which I like much. Here we have the ordinary cabbage.

@JamesHxstatic What do you mean by delicate taste? Does it mean not most people ,will like the taste?

@JamesHxstatic (29237)

I think that the purple cabbage is a bit sweeter with a more delicate taste.

I'd also add more potatoes. In German, the term for such a dish is 'one-pot', because everything is cooked together in one pot. The ingredients don't matter. I don't understand, though, why the vegetables simmered *for hours*. I'd say that ~30 minutes should be enough. 'After hours', no vitamin has survived!

@JamesHxstatic - Anne seems to be a wonderful cook. I could probably use a little of the "magic potion" she adds to her soup! LOL

All are very healthy to eat. I too don't buy any of these vegetables. Today at Foodland I got alfalfa sprouts on sale. I haven't seen alfalfa sprouts for so long and this is going to be a treat. I hope to go to Safeway and Don Quiote today, but I don't think I'll have time. Here's hoping I can finish my shopping today, if not today, then tomorrow.

@nawala123 I see. Well thanks for sharing that. Mustard greens are a very different thing here, quite bitter and not to my liking. The purple cabbage is called Napa cabbage that is sometimes white.

Most of them are very common in Latino meals. In fact all those ingredients come in handy for a vegetarian salad. :) You really had a healthy dish for dinner, thumbs up to that!
