Interesting observation, I've never seen them offered on a menu either.
Yet, the first time I ever ate them was at a restaurant at a small inn in
New Brunswick, some 32 years ago. Glazed parsnips were the vegetable of the
day and came with the pork chops I'd ordered. I've liked them ever since.
I always add them to stews and usually set a chicken to roast on a bed of
onions, carrots and parsnips. The veg. are later pureed to add to the
gravy.
