They make passable fries. Pretty much the same recipe you'd use to make regular potato fries in the oven. Also a puree, which would be similar to mashed potatoes. Boil them, and puree with whatever seasonings you want. May need to add some milk, cream or similar. I can't think of any other way I've used them other than roasting or in a stew which I think was suggested already.

We stayed at the "world famous" Hotel Ceasars where they invented the Caesar salad.

After a long day in Tijuana in my younger years, we decided to spend the night rather than drive back to L.A.

Possibly the same ideas apply to both, but I have less experience with turnips! Either way, 14 is a lot, but you have a couple good ideas.

Almost did a meal safari at FS , my friend and I just felt like staying on so we moved from the lounge after our late lobster roll lunch to 190 & also had a CNY brought down from Jiang Nan Chun , their Michelin starred restaurant .
Decided to have the semi buffet , while the SO joined us later for wanton mee / noodles
The cold side of the buffet , the smoked pork ribs somewhat hidden by the CNY floral arrangement was delicious as with all of everything else !
The desserts
Some of my desserts along with Camembert and manchego cheeses . The ondeh ondeh is on plate with the cookies
Oh my , forgot the chocolate ganache cake !
The greenpea & bak kwa ( dried bar be que pork slices ) cookies in the jars and on the plate are a lovely seasonal touch

Rick Bayless's chicken salad tacos (chicken, cabbage, red onion, carrot, avocado, cilantro, queso fresco in a balsamic chipotle dressing) and Mexican rice.
Years ago I was in a long-distance relationship with a guy who (I came to learn) had a limited food palette. He came to visit and I made this dish only for him to tell me they weren't "real" tacos and he proceeded to order a pizza. That relationship didn't last long.

Rolls and nigiri, but mainly nigiri. Mr Gfunk gets the custom fancy rolls unique to the restaurant and I get the sushi deluxe platter which is a mix of nigiri and a roll or two. TOnight they gave me a tuna roll and some kind of minced fish (maybe crab?) and avocado.
I should get the Sushi Regular platter but I always get the Deluxe and I always feel like I ate too much. :-/

My little tip for cooking steak: let it sit at room temperature for a little while before cooking, during which time you've smothered it in olive oil, garlic and a generous sprinkling of cumin and garam masala. The flavour is incredible!
