Cinnamon seems to make everything taste better. I was served a piece of ham on a charcuterie plate recently that tasted of cinnamon (jambon a la cannelle). Great unexpected combination.
Back on topic, I would never have thought about preparing turnips with cinnamon, nor is it an idea that would have ever seen the light of my day at my dinner table growing up. Sounds great though and I just may give it a try.
