I oft wonder if there are any 'maggots' flourishing under the 1/8"+ wax
covering rutabagas in most markets - or did the wax kill them off and there
are only carcasses of maggots! Mind gone wild! Every now and then I will
buy one when I just can't stand it any longer going without a rutabaga.
Monday was the first time in 10 years I've seen edible good-looking parsnips
in the market I shop.
