Caitlin – Wow, I never realized how many people were equally baffled by the humble parsnip! So glad I could be of help! Enjoy the soup!

Thank goodness! I always see parsnips in the store and can never figure out what to do with them besides mash them up with some potatoes. Now I finally have a recipe where they’re the go-to ingredient. Not to mention that with the blowing snow, a spicy soup just sounds wonderful.

Welcome, Dhanggit! Thanks for your very kind words. Parsnip is round there? How interesting! Yes, I know I am lucky to have such fresh healthy stuff to cook with, but hopefully more and more people will find fresh produce near them too if they look closely!

Hi Gintoino! Yep, I have had fried parsnip slices before. Yum! And actually your english sentence was perfect for describing how to do it! I was visiting your blog today and didn’t realize you had been sick! So glad you are feeling better!! Sounds like it was awful!

Yes, I’ll be in the Douro Valley and plan to drink lots and lots of port. It’s my favorite wine and the top reason for why I’m visiting.

I will send you an email soon about the cranberries…they are small so they won’t take up much room in my luggage. I’ll happily bring them along!

I’ve always been curious about parsenips. Never tried them (you can only find them in the northern part of the country), but I ear they are great fried. Just cut them in slices, boil them and then pass them by egg yolk and flour before frying (this was not my best writen english sentence, but I think you’ll understand )
Been trying to think of some more things (food) you could try once in Portugal, but most of them are not easy to find in Lisbon. Are you going to the Douro, aren’t you? Be sure to visit the Port wine cellars (as in place where Port wine is made ) There are some very nice boat trips along the Douro river then end in a cellar where you may taste (and buy) some wines.
Now, for the cranberrie issue…I think it might work if you mail them once you get to Portugal, I shoul receive them the next day (if you are willing to come all the way with cranberries in you luggage )
