One time my sister stopped by a country kitchen to get some dinner, as she peered over the counter of county foods, she pointed and said “I'll have some rutabagas” The overwieght black woman behind the counter erupted in muffled chuckles as she leaned on the counter burying her face in the arm of her spoon hand. When she recovered, she said “i didn't know no skinny white girl knew what rutabagas was”.
She was right, I am not skinny, but when my rutabagas seemed to be getting big, I had no idea what to do. Basically a rutabaga is a cool season root vegetable, its what happen when a collard and a turnip really love each other. I ended up just cubing, boiling and seasoning for lunch. Cooked, it takes like a zesty potato.
You can make a pie with them. I love them!
