I like turnip, swedes and the like. I eat the stuff two or three times a week, gnawing a big chunk of it raw for a snack and with meals too where iit takes on a whole new flavour when cooked.
It grows outside and spends most of its time buried in the ground with worms and just about every insect larva imaginable crawling over it. Birds shit on it from above and small mammals piss all over the exposed parts.
Today my daughter (19 y/o) dropped a piece on the kitchen floor and refused to eat it even after I'd rinsed it under the tap. Apparently it was 'dirty'.
