Turnips, I believe, are one of the most under-appreciated vegetables here in the U.S.. However, the often overlooked turnip is one of the most versatile, and inexpensive, veggies at a poor foodie's disposal.
They have a mildly spicy flavor reminiscent of cabbage or mustard. Turnip heads can be delicious baked, sauteed, braised, boiled, mashed, used in soups and stews- the possibilities are nearly endless and the flavor is wonderful.
And did I mention that they are cheap?
On occasion, I will fry up some turnips to accompany my eggs, in place of potatoes:
