Answers:
They are definitely parsnips, NOT daikon radishes!. Daikons have a much smoother skin!. Parsnips are NOT also known as rutabagas!. Rutabaga is the American word for swede!.

Parsnips taste great, cut lengthwise into strips and then fried and salted!. You can also roast them in the oven with potato and pumpkin and swede slices!. You can slice them like carrots and add them to soup or make a curry with them!.

They're usually twice as expensive as carrots!. Unlike carrots, they don't so good when eaten raw!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

this is definately a parsnip!. Roasted (like a potato) it's delicious!. You can make a lovely soup, with a little curry powder added!. It's slightly sweet (like a carrot) in fact parsnip and carrot roasted together is lovely with sunday roast!
