What are your feelings towards root vegetables of the UK?

I don't seem to have much to say to the swede or the turnip and my affection for the beetroot is primarily founded on borscht, but I have this idea rushthatspeaks and I should make another parsnip cake in the near future and I would never have known how much I like celeriac if schreibergasse hadn't thrown it one visit into an epic meat pie. Carrots are fun, even if they don't (oh, propaganda) actually allow you to see in the dark. I can't remember if we got to discussing burdock. I drink it with dandelion when Fentiman's is in season.
