A vastly underrated vegetable. One of the growers at my local farmers market has started growing a French variety - Navet, I think - that's mild enough to eat raw. Otherwise, I like them roasted.

Is there that o're his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi' perfect sconner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scronful' view
On sic a dinner?
