At some point in history, someone had a bunch of these vegetables they found in their uncle's plot or they had seeds for and then tried to "market" them and pretend they were "edible". Julia Child added them to recipes. They somehow become not only acceptable but required for some recipes? People! these are just vegetables nobody knew what to do with and they tried it on before feeding it to the pigs.
Am I missing any? Turnips Leeks Fennel |

| I'm sorry you do not know how to cook them properly. They are not pig slop. |

| Turnips are delicious. One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving. |

I would say artichokes but the industrial cutting and packing of them make them quite easy to consume and delicious.
No way if I had to chop them myself. |

How are they prepped? |

Mashed. I also make a turnip gratin sometimes that I really like. |

Your knowledge of "food history" is pretty lacking. |

I love OP ❤️
Also, I've always wondered who first decided to eat an artichoke. They must have been very hungry to try it. |

| I wonder if raising pigs on fennel and leeks would simplify the sausage making. |
