Aidy - what did you feed the pumpkin for it to get that big - its fantastic!  Now that's what I would love to grow for the kids - what variety did you say they were again?  I'm just growing the hundredweight ones this year.

I'm afraid the carrots and cauli are farm shop produce but hey

[Bombers]

What no Caulis?

[Knoblauch]

wow, hubby would go mad if I dug one up that size (hes not keen on parsnips )  

all the more for you then BQ 

roasted parsnips yum yum yum I have been known to eat all of them while they were cooking before and then someone said didnt you do parsnips (no I replied not today ) 

  Does that make you a gourmet or a gourmand?

Nah, I think you were right pre-edit Knoblauch, more like a glutton

thanks  I will go and lift my depressed state with a bowl of roasted parsnips, well I would if I had any 

[Yorkie]

Would you like me to PM you some raw ones?  They may defrost en route but it'll make for quicker roasting 

[Mart]

Not being one to boast, but couldn't resist

No, a gourmet is a connoisseur, a gourmand is a "hearty" eater as in "Russell Hearty", a glutton.

So why did BeetrootQueen pig out on the parsnips?  Were they just too fine to be wasted on an undeserving public, or did the "cram now, answer questions later" reflex take over?

Nice to see you back KB 

BQ grew them, and they were wasted on a non-discerning audience... a perfect decision IMO

That's the line I take with my peas. They've not been grown for riff-raff! (or even Ruff!).

This was the Atlantic Giant and the feed is a secret. Not growing them this year having a year off as I am trialing different beetroots this year, Chioggia is or should I say has become the family fave, stunning.


Anyway someone mentioned cauli's well here is one of mine...
