Parsnips? Those must be an acquired taste. We never had them growing up
and my mom seemed to have no reason why. Except that perhaps they were not
cheap and readily available like carrots. Why do they not make canned ones?
Do they make frozen ones? I've never seen them. And I think for some
reason they are much more commonly used in the UK.

I once made a stew with them in there many years ago. I disliked them so
much that I had to pick them all out. Luckily I had left them in large
chunks. I never tried them again.

Neither of my grandmas ever made green bean casserole. My mom's mom was
fond of making three bean salad and she did a lot of canning so she always
had that around. The other one made cooked to death green beans with bacon.
They were sooo good. I've never been able to achieve that same flavor that
she got. She cooked them all day to the point where the beans were pretty
much mush.

I will say that the two vegetables we use the most of in this house aside
from onions would be green beans and carrots. We all love green beans
although Angela only likes canned ones. Alas, my latest test showed a
carrot intolerance. This did not make me happy as the chicken broth that I
love so much has carrot juice in it. And I have to think twice when making
my plate now because it was common for me to include a handful of raw
carrots in some form. No more of that. And husband will eat them cooked
but Angela won't. Actually both of them prefer them raw.
