Guess the Vegetable

Its a Kohlrabi. It tastes a little like a cabbage and a little like a radish. It has it's own Wikipedia page, which is more popular than this blog. You might be wondering why we are blogging about this.....so read on

This year we purchased a half share at the West Newbury CSA. After wondering if we were ever going to see any vegetables, the veggies arrived in early June. At first we stuck to the common vegetables...beets, lettuce, peas, carrots, etc.. After a couple of weeks of seeing food that we never tasted or heard we made a new house rule: Each week we would select something that we have never tried before. So for the last couple of weeks, we have been trying different vegetables.........Salad Turnips, Diakon Radishes, Asian Eggplant, Garlic Scapes and Kohlrabi.
