I shovel the sidewalk at my apartment. It's a small place. A big house busted into apartments. The place has no lights at night and without gutters, the roofs drip constantly. If I shovel and somebody slips, could I be sued? I put salt down after I shovel but I can't guarantee an ideal walking surface all the time. Location: Indiana
Don't think I've ever eaten parsnips but I saw this history of cooking video on youtube that gave a British wartime mock banana recipe that's supposed to go with the national loaf. I tried it and it's good, even with that swerve sweetener. I figure folks get parsnips at the food pantry, so here's the recipe.
Mock Banana Cream
1 lb (450 g) parsnips
4 tablespoons (60 g) margarine
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons banana flavoring, or more to taste
For the mock banana cream: Peel the parsnips and chop them. The size isn’t really important here, it’s just to help them cook faster.
Put the parsnips in a pot, cover them with water, and boil them for about 10 minutes, or until they’re quite soft. You may need more or less time depending on the size of your parsnip pieces.
Drain the parsnips, put them in a large bowl, and mash them well. They don’t need to be completely smooth because we're going to mash them some more in the next step.
Add the margarine, sugar, and banana flavoring and mash again until combined. You can also use electric beaters to get the banana cream as smooth as possible.
