Making stew tonight we usually use rutabaga. The rutabagas we all enormous so I went with turnip instead.
I’ve never had turnip before, I am working in the assumption that the taste is relatively similar.
Is this correct?

I didn’t know those vegetables existed outside of story books. Remember Stone Soup? That was a good story. We should book club it!
I have used turnips before but not rutabagas so I looked up the answer;
“In terms of their flavor, rutabagas are slightly sweeter-tasting than turnips whereas turnips have a slightly more radishy flavor.”
.
Yes.
Also, you’ve never had a turnip? You haven’t lived, son!!

No. We use rutabagas. I thought I made that clear.
Is this going to be like substituting a parsnip for a carrot? Sure they look similar but one tastes good and the other tastes like ass.
They’re pretty bland taste wise. We put them in stew all the time. I can’t tell when my wife uses or omits them.
Turnips have a little sharper flavor.
When i put turnips into one of my venison stews i will usually balance out the taste by chunking up a apple (usually honey crisp) to balance out the taste
I also make a vegetable medley where i chunk up a turnip, a rutabaga, a sweet potato, a apple, a regular potato and some brussel sprouts. Put them all in a bag with some olive oil and a packet of onion soup and shake them all up. Then bake on a tray. Good veggies
Although savage and cruel, both are moderator approved insults.

If you don’t want to use rutabaga try swede instead…

I didn’t notice a difference. The wife claims she did. Says it’s better with rutabaga.
Ruta-bay-ga, or ruta-ba-gah?
Also, what’s wrong with “enormous rutabagas”? Sounds sexy to me.

I would throw 2/3 of it out.

Don’t be wasteful. Make a giant batch, and when your kids won’t eat it, explain to them that children in Africa would be grateful for your 2/3 of an enormous rutabaga.
