Do you realize that there are SOME people on this siyite that have NO IDEA what you are talking about?There are those that live up around White Bear Lake that think you are supposed to throw away the green, eafy tops to turnips?l I'd just as soon as throw the turnips away and keep JUST the greens!
Now if you want an artery blocking treat, add thin sliced egg plant to the same batter and fry it up! (Dont forget to peel it, slice REAL thin and soak in COLD salt water until the water turns black.) Dip in buttermilk and roll in flour,corn meal, salt and pepper. Then fry. Done righ, it taste the same as fried oysters!
I raise tomatos, egg plant, bell pepper and jalepeno peppers in the back yard. Better that way. I know who fertilzed them last. Me or he dog.
