The Mother of All Rutabagas

From Hillsdale Farmers’ Market — Blog by Hillsdale Farmers' Market

November 22, 2009

Ayers Creek Farm is famous for their unique and robust vegetables. This root vegetable takes the cake. Anthony commented last week that he had rutabagas the size of a baby’s head. This one I think is the size of the baby. It was almost as big as the Musquee de Provence squash.

What do you do with a rutabaga that big?!

I have no idea. David Barber of Three Square Grill bought it. I am dying to know what he’s going to do with it.

Perhaps he’s turning it into pickles? I bet it would be good (cooked, pureed) worked into mashed potatoes, too. Or maybe it could be roasted and served whole, a substitute for turkey on the thanksgiving table . . .

Oh roasting it and carving it in the shape of a turkey would be so funny. If David does do something like that I hope he posts pictures.
