Sort of the opposite of the cooked radishes question. I like to eat
turnips raw. You need a small, young one that's very fresh. Otherwise
they get pithy and bitter. When good though, they are crisp and sweet.

Anyone else?

Yes, I like raw turnips and raw kohlrabi. Along with radishes, cucumbers
and green onions, all make good bread and butter sandwiches.

I like raw turnips, too. Very good with green onion dip.

Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does.

If you mean swedes or rutabagas, it's the only way to eat them, IMHO.

Peeled, cut into small dice, lightly blanched and simmered in a chicken
and rice soup, preferably wild rice with a bit of cumin for seasoning
along with the obligatory garlic, s & p.

*I* didn't. I meant the smaller, white with purple tops turnips.

I was in my 20;s before I knew that anyone cooked turnips or kohlrabi
- they were, in my family, "raw" vegetables, and we ate tons of 'em
all summer long...
