Could it be a kohlrabi?

Sorry Judy I couldn't open the link.
And so what do I do with this veggie? Do I boil or steam or add it to something or feed it to the chooks?

OK it is working now Mandi.

Thanks Judy it worked that time. Oh well I guess I will try chips then. I don't know why my DH brings home veggies we don't eat like broad beans (none of us like them).
As for all that cucumber well I better start looking up some recipes. I do like cucumber, tomato and onion in vinegar with a little sugar.

I use kohlrabi the same way you could use a lot of root vegetables. It has a mild flavor so can mix in a lot of meals in secret 😉. Lots of people have never seen them. Checkout girl at shop once tried to look it up (so I could pay for it) as 'cold rabbi'😊

I was about to say it looks like a purple kohlrabi. It would be good as a remoulade - I don't know where the link is but there is a celeriac remoulade on the forum which would also work with kohlrabi. The colour is beautiful though. Otherwise you could steam it or finely chop it up to use in a salad ie similar to a coleslaw.

Here's the link Merlin refers to above.

Well it's one of those veggies I have never tried, although I have heard of them before. I thought it was a different breed of sweed/ turnip or something similar.
I have had a bit of a google seach and seen quiet a few recipes. Now to choose one.
I think there is 3 of them in the bag (amongst all the other veggies)

By the way has anyone tried white beet root ? Does it taste the same as the purple beets?

I was just thinking that it could also be a purple swede!

No I think the others were right about it being kohlrabi. My Dad was here today and that's what he said too. Although he said they are not very nice.
Oh well I'm still going to try slicing them thin and putting them on an oven tray drizzled with olive oil, with a bit of S & P and bake them and see what we think.
